The Need is a Japanese 6.5×9cm plate folder attributed to the distributor Eikōdō.[1]
The only known surviving example is pictured in Sugiyama.[2] It has a small focusing wheel on the photographer's right, a brilliant finder and a wireframe finder (whose front frame is missing), and no movement ability. The shutter is a dial-set Elka, giving 25, 50, 100, B, T speeds, and the lens is reported as a Steinheil Anastigmat Trionar 105mm f/6.3.
Yazawa shows a Fuji Optische Werk Anastigmat Trionar 105mm f/6.3 and Elka-C shutter (10–150, B, T), reportedly coming from a Need.[3] The shutter plate has ELKA–C at the bottom, Patent–Pending at the top and a TB logo on the right. The name "Fuji Optische Werk" certainly corresponds to Fuji Kōgaku, which maybe acquired the license of the Trionar lens to Steinheil, and maybe assembled the lenses from elements coming from Germany.
The same source also shows a Steinheil Anastigmat Trionar 105mm f/6.3 and dial-set Elka, said to come from a Sun plate folder looking very much like the Need and probably related.[4]
