The Renown Six (レナウンシックス, Renaun Shikkusu) is a folding 6×6 camera with non-coupled rangefinder, made by Fujiwara Seisakusho (藤原製作所) in the early 1950s. It has a front-cell focusing Yamasaki H Congo 75mm f/3.5 lens.

The Renown Six 1a has a shutter with speeds of B, 25, 50, 100. It was advertised in the January to May 1954 issues of the Japanese photo magazines.

The Renown Six IIa has a Renown shutter with speeds of B, 1–200. It was advertised in the May to December 1954 issues of the Japanese photo magazines.

In an advertisement in the May 1954 issue of Sankei Kamera (サンケイカメラ), the distributor of the Renown Six 1a is named as San'yō Shōkai (三陽商会; address Tōkyō-to, Minato-ku, Shibata Murachō 2–2 -->, and it is priced at ¥8,800. In an advertisement (with no mention of a distributor) in the August 1954 issue of Camera Mainichi the hard-coated Congo lens from Yamasaki, with its thirty-year history, is made a sales point of the IIa; the camera is priced at ¥9,800.[1]
