The Kinka Roll (錦華ロール) is a Japanese 6×9cm folding camera, made by Yamamoto Shashinki Kōsakusho in 1936 and 1937.[1]
Contents
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.

The Kinka Roll was advertised in January 1937 in four versions:[2]
