The Proud or Proud DC is a Japanese 6.5×9cm folding plate camera introduced in 1933, certainly made by the Proud company.[1]
A folding plate camera, apparently in 6.5×9cm format, has been observed with a plate holder sporting the Proud logo.[2] Its identification with a Proud plate folder is probable but not certain. The camera has a metal body, a small focusing wheel on the photographer's right of the bed and a focusing scale on the left. There is a brilliant finder and a wireframe finder. The folding bed release and the leather handle are above the body. This particular example has a Rulex shutter by Neumann & Heilemann giving 1–200, B, T speeds, and a Corygon 10.5cm f/4.5 lens.
Other than the Corygon and Rulex of the example mentioned above, the following combinations are reported:[3]
- Radionar f/4.5 lens by Schneider, Vario shutter;
- Lausar f/4.5 lens by Tomioka, Rulex shutter;
- Lausar f/4.5 lens, Compur shutter (¥86 in 1934);
- Corygon f/4.5 lens by Friedrich, Compur shutter (¥85 in 1934).
