The '''Kinka Roll''' (錦華ロール) is a Japanese 6×9cm folding camera, made by [[Yamamoto Shashinki Kōsakusho]] in 1936 and 1937.<REF> Dates: advertisements listed in {{Kokusan}}, p.335. </REF>

== Description of the body ==
The Kinka Roll is a vertical folding camera taking both 6×9cm and 4.5×6cm exposures. It is not self erecting and the lens standard needs to be manually pulled out after opening. It seems that the focusing is controlled by a lever placed on the right of the folding bed. There is a folding optical finder and a [[brilliant finder]] attached to the U-shaped lens standard. The advance knob is at the top right, as seen by a photographer holding the camera horizontally. The back is hinged to the left and the back latch is covered by a leather handle.
