The Rippa is a 35mm camera made by Yamato in Tokyo in about 1960. The name appears on viewfinder cameras identical to the Atlas 35 and Sears Tower 55 (McKeown lists it as one of these viewfinder cameras, with a photograph[1] and also on similarly-styled rangefinder cameras, identical to the Pal, Pax Ruby, Sunscope, Konair Ruby, or Rex Kaysons.
The viewfinder camera has a 45mm f/3.5 Color Luna lens, and a synchronised leaf shutter giving speeds from 1/25 to 1/300 second, plus 'B'; the rangefinder model has either an f/3.5 or an f/2.8, and also offers 1/10 second.
