- Weha Chrome Six III or Ehira Chrome Six, 1940

A Weha Light 6.5x9 folding plate camera is mentioned in McKeown under Ehira, but there is some doubt. At the Japanese site ksmt.com (see here and here), there is a mention of the Weha Light as made or sold around 1930 by Yamamoto Shashinki-ten (山本写真機店, means Yamamoto camera shop), who was also the distributor of the Weha Chrome Six. The name Weha possibly belonged to this distributor. It is unknown if it is related to the Yamamoto company who sold the Semi Kinka.
