Template:127 Japan The National cameras are a series of Japanese folders sold in the late 1930s by the distributor Eikō-Dō. The actual maker is unknown. See also National (120 folders).
The original National (ナショナル) is a vertical folding camera taking both 4×6.5 and 3×4 pictures on 127 film. There is a tubular finder on one side of the body, with two bars in the finder to indicate the 3×4 frame size. It is advertised by Eikō-Dō in 1937[1] with a three speed shutter and a choice of f:6.8, f:6.3 or f:4.5 lenses, the price varying between ¥17 and ¥35, case not included.
