Picny 35 and Royal 35
This is a work in progress.
The Picny 35 and the Royal 35 are Japanese cameras using 35mm film, made around 1951, certainly by Miyagawa Seisakusho. It is an evolution of the Picny B, an earlier model using Bolta film. The Royal Senior is a related camera taking 4×4cm pictures on 127 film. The later Royal 35 made by Royal Camera is probably unrelated.
Description
The Picny 35 and Royal 35 have an aluminium body with rounded edges, similar to that of the Picny B.[1]
