Baby Lyra
Template:127 Japan The Baby Lyra (ベビーライラ) was a 3x4 folding Japanese camera, made by Fuji Kogaku. It was inspired by the Zeiss Ikon Baby Ikonta.
It was a vertical style folding camera, with a folding frame finder. A 1938 ad, in an issue of Asahi Camera, showed all the Lyra range and announced the Baby Lyra in three versions:
- f/6.3 lens for 28 yen (bad scan, prices hard to read)
- f/4.5 lens for 36 yen
- f/3.5 lens for 46 yen
The case was not included.
In the Baby Lyra presented here at Asacame, the shutter is a Picco T-B-25-50-100, probably everset, with no body release, and the lens is a 50/6.3 marked Anastigmat Pionar (barely readable).
