Baby Lyra
Template:127 Japan The Baby Lyra (ベビーライラ) was a 3×4 folding Japanese camera, made by Fuji Kōgaku. It was a vertical style folding camera, with a folding frame finder, inspired by the Baby Ikonta.
An advertisement in the Sep. 1938 issue of Asahi Camera, showed all the Lyra range and announced the Baby Lyra in three versions:
- f/6.3 lens for ¥28 (bad scan, prices hard to read)
- f/4.5 lens for ¥36
- f/3.5 lens for ¥46
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).
