Semi Lyra
The Semi Lyra was a 4.5×6 folding camera, copy of the Zeiss Ikon Ikonta. It was made by the Japanese company Fuji Kogaku.
A 1938 ad, in an issue of Asahi Camera, showed all the Lyra range and announced the Semi Lyra in three versions, each with a choice of two lenses:
- f:4.5 lens for ¥52 (bad scan, prices hard to read)
- f:3.5 lens for ¥52
- possibly model B (B型), f:4.5 lens for ¥60
- possibly model B (B型), f:3.5 lens for ¥70
- possibly model A (A型), f:4.5 lens for ¥70
- possibly model A (A型), f:3.5 lens for ¥80
The case was not included in the price.
The Semi Lyra also appeared in a 1938 price list of a dealer called Shinbi-Dō (眞美堂), offered in two versions, each with a choice of two lenses:
- f:3.5 lens, for ¥56
- f:4.5 lens, for ¥50
- model I, f:3.5 lens, for ¥52.05
- model I, f:4.5 lens, for ¥40
Apparently all four had a body release.
