The initials MKS are found in the following contexts:

  • an MKS logo appears on the Mizuho Six — it certainly refers to the manufacturer Mizuho Kōki Seisakusho;
  • MKS shutters are found on the Mizuho Six and reported on the Mihama Six — these were certainly made by Mizuho too;
  • an M.K.S engraving appears on the subminiature Robin — this certainly explains why the camera is attributed to "M.K.S. Co." in Sugiyama,[1] but the actual meaning is unknown.

Notes

  1. Sugiyama, item 5123.
