Nishida

Nishida was a Japanese camera maker, active at least in the 1950s. Its full name was Nishida Kōgaku Kōgyō K.K. (西田光学工業株式会社).

6×6 folding cameras

• Wester Chrome Six
• Wester Chrome Six R, some with a Zuiko F.C. 75/3.5 lens
• Wester Autorol
• Wester S2

McKeown lists the Mikado Semi 4.5×6 folding camera under both Nishida and Sumida, but a page of the AJCC attributes it to the latter.
