Royal Camera

The Royal Camera Company, Daiou Shashin Kōgaku or DSK, was a 1950s camera manufacturer established in Tokyo, Japan. As well as producing and exporting cameras under its own company label, it had ties locally through Ogino exporting, Wirgin in Europe and Brumberger in America. It produced well-made rangefinders with central shutters. 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.
