Dianette and Pionette
This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.
The Pionette is a 4×6.5 strut-folding camera that was made by Fuji Kōgaku. It can also take 3×4 exposures. It is a copy of the German Piccolette, like the Pearlette by Konishiroku.
It is advertised in 1936[1] together with the Dianette, for ¥28 with a focusing f:6.3 lens. The advertisement does not seem to show any difference between both models, maybe it was only a name variant.
