Nishida lenses

Nishida made a number of lenses from the 1930s to the 1950s, sold to other camera makers or used on its own cameras.

For 6×6cm format: 75/4.5 and 75/3.5

From the late 1930s, Nishida offered a standard three-element 75mm lens for 6×6cm or 4.5×6cm format cameras, in two different apertures f/4.5 and f/3.5. It was called Wester on most cameras, but was also supplied as the Lucky to go with the Fujimoto products.

For 4×4cm format: 70/4.5 and 65/3.2

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Nishida made the Super Anastigmat lenses mounted on the Super Flex Baby 4×4cm SLR made by Umemoto and distributed by Kikōdō.
