Royal Camera

The Royal Camera Company was a 1950s camera manufacturer. It was established in Tokyo. It produced well-made rangefinders with central shutters. A 1955 model, the 35 S, had an interchangable lens bayonet but only one lens, a 50mm/f2.8, was produced for the mount. The company logo was a crowned shield with the letter R and C in it. On the earlier models it was engraved in the accessory cold shoe. On later models the logo was embossed into the leatherette on the left front panel.
