Revision as of 12:04, 16 September 2010

The Sakura rollfilm holder (さくらロールフィルムホルダー) is a Japanese accessory released in 1936 by Konishiroku, and made by its manufacturing branch Rokuoh-sha.[1]

The device can be attached on daimeishi-size (6.5×9cm) plate cameras, and takes eight 6×9cm pictures on 120 film. It has an advance knob on the side and a red window on the back. The name ROKUOHSHA is embossed in the leather covering, at the bottom of the back.

Variations are known in the shape of the advance knob and in the orientation of the red window cover (either horizontal or vertical).[2] The advance knob normally has lines indicating the frame number, allowing to advance the film without using the red window.

The device was briefly featured in the July 1936 issue of Asahi Camera, where it is described along with another rollfilm holder, merely called Roll Holder A, B or C, sold by an unspecified distributor.[1] In this document, the price of the Sakura rollfilm holder is quoted as ¥4.50.
