Baby Rosen, Rosen Four and Adler Four

Template:127 Japan The Rosen Four was a 4x4 format folding camera made around 1936 by the Japanese company Proud. It was a copy of the Zeh Goldi German camera, modified for the 4x4 format. Like the Goldi, it had a folding optical finder and scissor struts. It possibly had an exposure counter, to avoid using the red windows because the film paper was not adapted to 4x4 format at the time.

The Riken Adler IV is probably the same camera under another name.
