According to McKeown, Neumann & Heilemann made a Condor 4.5×6 folder. However the same source also lists a New Semi Condor 4.5×6 vertical folding camera at the Nissan Kogaku entry. At a Yahoo Japan auction, a 4.5×6 folder with the name Condor embossed in the leather has been observed with a [[Koho]] 1–200, B, T shutter, a Delter (or Deller or Deltar?) Anastigmat 7.5cm f/3.5 lens and a case marked ''Semi Condor''. It was obviously a copy of the [[Baldax]]. It had what looks like a complicated linkage to a body release.

Neumann & Heilemann was a company founded in the 1930s by Billy Neumann and Willy Heilemann, two German people living in Japan. Billy Neumann had previously worked for Krauss in Paris, and Willy Heilemann for Kenngott, then they had helped Kazuo Tashima to found the Nichi-Doku company (that would later become Minolta), before founding their own company. Its logo was NH inside a circle. It made the Rulex and Perfekt shutters as well as cameras and lenses. Neumann & Heilemann made the first Japanese TLR in 1937, called the Prince Flex and distributed by Fukada Shōkai. (It is often attributed to Fujimoto, certainly because there is a confusion around the Prince name.)

Cameras

McKeown says that Neumann & Heilemann made a 4.5×6 folder called Condor. This is probably a confusion with the Condor folders, most of them having a Neumann & Heilemann Rulex shutter.

6×6 TLR

Shutters

  • Rulex (various versions)
  • Perfekt (at least T, B, 1–300)

Cameras equipped with a Neumann & Heilemann shutter

This list is incomplete, and that a model appears in the list does not mean that all its variants are concerned.

Lenses

  • Radionar 75/4.5, probably under license from Schneider, equipped some Semi Prince
  • Tritar 105/4.5, camera unknown, shown here

Cameras equipped with a Neumann & Heilemann lens

This list is incomplete, and that a model appears in the list does not mean that all its variants are concerned.

Bibliography

  • The Japanese camera by John Baird, ed. HCP
