Rengō
Rengō Kōki (聯合光機,[1] meaning Allied Optical Instruments) was a Japanese company which made a series of products called Renky between 1939 and 1941:
- the Semi Renky and New Semi Renky 4.5×6 cameras;
- the Renky accessory rangefinder;
- the Renky and Renky II enlargers.
Notes
- ↑ 聯合: "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras"), items 73–4. 光機 has not been observed on any original document yet, but it is near certain. The name "Rengo Koki" is written on the cameras with no macrons.
