The Semi Gelto was a series of 4.5×6 folding cameras made by the Japanese company Takahashi (that would later become Toakoki).
The Semi Gelto I is reported in this page at Uyūdō with a Grimmel Anastigmat 75/4.5 lens and a Gelto I T, B, 1–250 shutter. Date is 1939.
The Semi Gelto II is reported in this page of the AJCC, made in 1939 too.
A Semi Gelto has been observed at an eBay auction. It had a vertical style folding bed, a folding optical finder, a key for winding. There was only one red window in the back, at the top right, with a sliding cover.
The Semi Gelto S is reported and pictured in this page at Japan Family Camera, and another example has been observed at a Yahoo Japan auction. The body and back are the same as described above, but there is now a top housing integrating the viewfinder, an accessory shoe and maybe an exposure counter or double exposure prevention device. The lens is a Grimmel Anastigmat 7.5cm f/3.5 with front cell focusing and the shutter is a Gelto II with T, B, 1–300 speeds. Japan Family Camera says that it was made in 1942.
