Kazenderu Shōkai (カゼンデル商会)[1] was a Japanese distributor in the first half of the 1940s. It was based in Tokyo.[2] It sold the Auto Keef 4×4 rangefinder camera and the Semi Keef 4.5×6 camera.[3]

Notes

  1. The company probably used a different Roman name than Kazenderu, perhaps "Casendell" or something similar.
  2. Its address in 1943 was a postal box: 私書函東京中央郵便局656, meaning Tokyo Central Post Office, Postal Box 656. Source: advertisement dated March 1943 reproduced in Kokusan kamera no rekishi, p. 65.
  3. Semi Keef: "Kamera no kōtei kakaku kanpō happyō", November 1941, type 3, section 3A.
