Peacock

Template:127 Japan The Peacock was a Japanese 3x4 camera. In McKeown and other sources, it is called Peacock III, and it is said that it was made by a company named Tōyō Kogaku (most probably 東洋光学), abreviated Tōkō (東光). However all the other cameras attributed to Toyo Kogaku in McKeown were in fact made by Toko (Tōkō Shashin, 東興写真).

It was a straightforward rigid body, with tubular optical finder. Lens and shutter assembly was mounted on a telescopic tube. and there was a body release at the right of the viewfinder.

It has been observed with a Peacock Anastigmat Ortoscop 50/6.3 fixfocus lens on a T-B-100-50-25-10 shutter marked Peacock, with a body release at the right of the viewfinder (seen at a Yahoo Japan auction). It is pictured in McKeown with a Recta Anastigmat 50/3.5 front-cell focusing lens and a T-B-1-300 shutter, reported to be a New Alfa, with no body release.
