Kadera
The Kadera (カデラー) is a Japanese folding camera. It is said to take 4.5×6cm pictures, to have a folding optical finder, a front-cell focusing Kadera 75/4.5 lens and a shutter giving T, B, 25–100 speeds. It is featured in the new products column of the January 1939 issue of Asahi Camera, and is attributed to Ōmiya Shashin-yōhinu.[1]
The name "Kadera Anastigmat" has been observed on a 75mm f:3.5 lens mounted on a Semi Kinka II.[2]
