Neumann & Heilemann

Neumann & Heilemann was a company founded in the 1930s by Billy Neumann and Willy Heilemann, two Germans living in Japan. They had previously helped Kazuo Tashima to found the Nichi-Doku company that would become Minolta. They made the Rulex shutters and they also made cameras. Their logo was NH inside a circle.

There is sporadic reference to the following models:

• Condor
• Perfekt ? (maybe a mistake, some shutters were named Perfekt)
• Prince ?
• Princeflex, the first Japanese TLR

Cameras equipped with Neumann & Heilemann shutters:

• Riken Adler, some variants
