The Proud or Proud DC is a Japanese 6.5×9cm folding plate camera[1], certainly made by the Proud company.
A folding plate camera, apparently in 6.5×9cm format, has been observed with a plate holder sporting the Proud logo, that maybe identifies it as a Proud plate folder. It has a Rulex shutter by Neumann & Heilemann giving 1–200, B, T speeds, and a Corygon 10.5cm f:4.5 lens. There is a brilliant finder, a folding frame finder and a small wheel for focusing at the right of the folding bed. The metal body also shows some similarity to the Rosen Hand, to which it is perhaps related.
The lens and shutter combinations mentioned in the literature are the following:
- Radionar f/4.5 lens by Schneider, Vario shutter[2];
- Lauser f/4.5 lens by Tomioka[3], Rulex shutter;
- Lauser f/4.5 lens, Compur shutter (¥86 in 1934);
- Corygon f/4.5 lens by Friedrich, Compur shutter (¥85 in 1934).[4]
