Template:Japanese large format The Rosen Hand or Rosen Hand Camera is a Japanese 6.5×9cm folding plate camera, attributed to the company Proud and advertised in 1935.[1] It has a brilliant finder and a folding frame finder, and the metal body shows some similarity to the Proud plate folder, to which it is perhaps related.

One example is pictured in Sugiyama and Kokusan kamera no rekishi with a Corygon-Anastigmat 10.5cm f/4.5 lens, a Vario shutter giving 25, 50, 100, B, T speeds and no movement ability.[2]

A 6.5×9 plate folder presented as a Rosen has been sold in a Yahoo Japan auction. It is mostly similar to the Rosen mentioned above and it has a Corygon-Anastigmat 10.5cm f/4.5 lens by Friedrich, but the shutter is a Compur giving T, B, 1–250 speeds and the U-shaped lens standard is different and allows vertical movements.
