The Seikosha is a Japanese leaf shutter made by Seikōsha, the manufacturing branch of Hattori Tokei-ten, in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It was inspired by the German Compur and was released around 1935.[1] It was called "S Seiko" (Sセイコー) in some advertisements.[2]
It only exists in #0 size, its range of speeds is T, B, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 and it has a self-timer.
Contents
Cameras equipped
This list is incomplete, and not all the versions of these cameras have a Seikosha shutter:
- Lord (Tōkyō Kōgaku) by Tōkyō Kōgaku
- First and Special First
- First Roll
- First Center
- First Etui
- Semi First and First Six
- Auto Semi First
Notes
- ↑ Date: the Seikosha is listed in an advertisement for the First, Special First and First Roll dated September 1935, reproduced in Kokusan kamera no rekishi, p.85. Lewis says 1935 on p.46. Baird says 1936 on pp.15 and 18 of Kuribayashi-Petri Cameras, but this is at least one year too late. Shunkan o torae-tsuzukeru shattā-ten, p.9, and the corresponding exhibition page say 1932, but this seems implausible.
- ↑ Advertisement published in the March 1938 issue of Asahi Camera, reproduced in Kokusan kamera no rekishi, p.105.
