The Eagle is a Japanese folding bed camera taking film plates, distributed by Asanuma Shōkai around 1915. It was sold in various formats, including Meishi (5.5×8cm or 2¼×3⅛"), Tefuda (8×10.5cm), Postcard and 4×5".[1] In 1915, the Tefuda model existed in three versions, called A (¥9.50), B (¥12) and C (¥18).[2]

Description

The Eagle seems to have a wooden body, with an oval nameplate on one side. The focusing is done by a small wheel on the right side of the folding bed. The lens standard consists of two pylons mounted on a plate sliding on two rails. It seems that the camera has vertical and horizontal movements (rise and shift). There is a brilliant finder and a handle at the top.

Actual examples

The only example observed so far is pictured in Sugiyama and is said to take 8×10.5cm plates (tefuda format).[3] It reportedly has an Ilex Anastigmat 5¼" f/7.5 lens in a Universal shutter giving T, B, 1–150 speeds.
