Kadunder Shōkai (カゼンデル商会) was a Japanese distributor in the 1930s and early 1940s, based in Tokyo.[1] It is said that it also operated under the English name Kadunder Photo Supply Co., and that it was the sole Asian agent for the Corygon lenses by Friedrich.[2] It distributed the Auto Keef 4×4 rangefinder camera and the Semi Keef 4.5×6 camera in the early 1940s (see the corresponding pages).
