Revision as of 23:19, 20 May 2008
This is a work in progress.
The Lily (リリー) are Japanese plate folders made by Rokuoh-sha, the manufacturing branch of Konishi or Konishiroku (predecessors of Konica). This page is about the horizontal models, in meishi, tefuda and hagaki size.
For the original vertical model, see Lily (original). For the later metal models, see Lily (metal).
General description
The horizontal Lily were patterned after the Voigtländer Alpin. They have a mixed construction with a wooden main body and a metal folding bed.[1] The bellows have double extension, driven by a knob on the photographer's right. The front standard has a U-shaped main part and horn-shaped handles to pull it forward. It allows vertical and horizontal movements. There is a folding Newton finder above the main body. The name The Lily is usually inscribed on a round plate attached above the body, to the right of the viewfinder (as seen by the photographer).
The Lily No.2 and Special Lily
The Lily No.2 (リリー2号) was reportedly introduced in January 1916 in tefuda format (8×10.5cm), and in September in meishi format (5.5×8cm).[2] The following lens and shutter combinations were reportedly offered in 1916:[3]
- Wollensak Voltas lens, Victo shutter, on the meishi model;
- Wollensak Vinco lens, Victo shutter, on the meishi model;
- Wollensak Vinco lens, Victor shutter, on the tefuda model;
- Voigtländer Dynar lens, Compound shutter, on the tefuda model.
The Special Lily (スペシャルリリー) was reportedly introduced in September 1916 too, at first in tefuda-size only.[3] It was released as an upmarket version, similar to the Lily No.2 but for its more expensive lens and shutter combinations.[3] When it was released in 1916, it was reportedly available with an Optimo shutter and a Wollensak Velostigmat Ser.II f/4.5 lens.[3] In January 1919, a hagaki-size (8×14cm) version was introduced with the same lens; a Bausch & Lomb Zeiss Ser.IC f/4.5 lens option was simultaneously added to the tefuda model.[4] A Wollensak Verito f/4.5 lens is also reported at some time.[5] It is said that the Special Lily was later available with a Compur shutter and Heliar f/4.5, Collinear f/6.8 or Dagor f/6.8 lenses.[6]

Notes
- ↑ Metal folding bed: Kikuoka, p.26 of Kurashikku Kamera Senka no.10.
- ↑ Dates: Kikuoka, pp.26–7 of Kurashikku Kamera Senka no.10. The date is given as January 1916 in the chronology of the official company history Shashin to tomo ni hyaku-nen, reproduced in Tanaka, p.94 of the same magazine; the format is mentioned as daimeishi (6.5×9cm) in this document, surely by mistake.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Kikuoka, p.26 of Kurashikku Kamera Senka no.10.
