Mighty
Hit type camera for 17.5mm paper-backed roll film. Compared to other Hits it has several advantages: 3 f-stops (f4.5 , f6.3 and f8), two finders (one of reflecting type), and an optional tele-converter. Maybe its name derives from its "mighty" looking when the converter is used. Other attributes are standard: non-focusable 25mm lens, 14×14mm frame size, and B and I mode as shutter settings. Made in 1947 by Tōkō Shashin K.K. (東興写真株式会社), marked "MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN".
