The Poppy is a Japanese subminiature camera, presumably using 16mm film, that is attributed to a company called Shin Nippon,[1] probably related to Kigawa. See also the Poppy Six 6×6 folder made by the same company.
Description
The Poppy has a vertical prismatic shape. On the front you can see, from top to bottom: the viewfinder window, surrounded by a POPPY nameplate, a fixed Erinar 2.2cm f:2.8 lens[2], focused in feet, and an aperture control wheel going from 2.8 to 6.3, geared together with a wheel around the lens barrel. On the right hand side there is a release button, surrounded by a shutter speed selector with B, 25 and 50 positions, and an advance knob with numbers engraved, probably to act as an exposure counter.[3]
Notes
- ↑ According to McKeown and this page at www.submin.com.
- ↑ Same lens brand as on many Kigawa cameras: Tsubasa Nettar and Tsubasa Kiko Three, Semi Kulax and Kiko Semi, Gotex and Poppy Six and Kiko Flex.
- ↑ The description of the camera is based on the picture published in McKeown.
