The Pax Ruby is a fixed-lens leaf-shutter rangefinder camera made by Yamato in the 1950s. It looks similar to the Pax M3, but the rangefinder window is smaller. Its lens is a Colour Luna 45 mm f/2.8 or f/3.5.
It was also sold under other names, both by Yamato and other companies: 'Pal,' 'Rex', 'Pax Sunscope' , 'Rex Kaysons,' 'Ricsor,' 'Rippa', 'Konair Ruby'[1] and perhaps others.
