Nomura Seisakusho (野村製作所, meaning Nomura Works) was perhaps a Japanese camera maker in the early 1940s. Its name is given in the Japanese official price list dated November 1941, about the Semi Tex models, usually attributed to Kyokutō Kōki Seisakusho, and about a "Balnet", perhaps related with the Baby Balnet.[1] The lens name Nomular, found on the Baby Balnet and on some other cameras, is perhaps related to Nomura (it would be pronounced the same in Japanese, except for the lengthened final vowel). Nothing else is known about this company.
