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 Perfect (or 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.)
