The Pocket Idea B (ポケットアイデアB号), Idea B (アイデアB号) and Idea Snap (アイデアスナップ) are Japanese plate folders made by Rokuoh-sha, the manufacturing branch of Konishi or Konishiroku (predecessors of Konica). The Pocket Idea B was first released in tefuda size (8×10.5cm), and later evolved as the Idea B. A smaller Idea B model was also released in meishi size (5.5×8cm), along with the cheaper Idea Snap. All these cameras were cheaper alternatives to the Idea A series, and both lines were replaced in 1923 by the Idea No.1.

The tefuda models

Description

The tefuda models have an all-wooden vertically folding body, with a handle at the top. The bellows have single extension, and there is a distance scale on the photographer's left. Variations are known in the shape of the folding struts, of which two types exist — thinner or larger. The front standard has two masts supporting the lensboard, and allows vertical movements only. There is a brilliant finder attached to the folding bed, to the photographer's left, with a retracting hood. The Pocket Idea B has a small POCKET IDEA nameplate attached to the base of the lens standard.
