The Lord was the first camera made by Tokyo Kogaku (later Topcon). It was a coupled rangefinder 4.5x6 camera. The lens and shutter assembly was mounted on a telescopic tube with a focusing helical. The combined range and viewfinder was enclosed in a top housing, with a LORD logo at the front.
The Topcon Club website indicates a Toko Anastigmat 75/6.3 lens, but the only known picture of this camera shows a Simlar 7.5cm/3.5 (said to be a four element Tessar type). The shutter was a Seikosha #0 T-B-1-200. The shutter plate was marked SEIKOSHA-TOKYO on top and SEIKOSHA at the bottom.
It is said only 50 were built in 1937 and 1938.
