Baby Uirus
The Baby Virus (ベビーウイルス) is a Japanese 3×4cm folding camera, only known from an entry in Kokusan kamera no rekishi. It was made by a company whose name is unclear.[1] It is said to be a strut folding camera made of bakelite. Film loading is through the bottom plate, film advance is by two covered red windows. The shutter only has bulb and instant settings, the lens is a simple meniscus and the film plane is curved.[2]
