Light (shutter)

This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.

The Light is a leaf shutter mounted on some Japanese cameras in the 1930s. It was perhaps made by Ōhashi Kōki Seisakusho, a company which is known to have used this trademark and to have mounted Light B and Light C shutters on the Roll Light Ref.

Versions and cameras equipped

List of versions:

• Light B (5–250, T, B)
• Light C (25, 50, 100, T, B)
• F Light (5–150, T, B)

The exact shutter version is not always mentioned by the sources. The versions above were perhaps predated by an original version with no model name.

The camera list is incomplete, and not all the versions of these cameras have a Light shutter:

• Venus plate folder (Light)
• Semi Dymos (Light and Light B)
• Hansa Semi Rollette (F Light)
• Roll Light Ref (Light B and Light C)
