Template:120 folder Japan The Semi Prince was a Japanese 4.5x6 folding camera. It was essentially a copy of the Zeiss-Ikon Ikonta 520. There is also mention of a Semi Prince II. The Semi Prince was probably made by Fujimoto from 1934, as stated at Fujimoto's company page. But some sources attribute the Semi Prince to a company named Prince Camera Works (プリンスカメラワークス). Indeed a 1937 ad (see here, ad in 14/7/1937 issue of Asahi Graph) shows a P.C.W. logo and the name of the distributor Fukada Shôkai (深田商会, means Fukada Co.). See the discussion at the Prince page. This ad was for a Semi Prince "enhanced model", offered with three lens/shutter combinations:
- Schneider Xenar F4.5 & Compur-Rapid (113 yen)
- Schneider Isco F4.5 & Compur (89 yen)
- Schneider Isco F4.5 & Prontor (75 yen)
Observed lens/shutter combinations:
- Neumann & Heilemann Radionar 7.5cm/4.5 & Neumann & Heilemann Perfekt T-B-5-250
- Schneider-Isco (written Schneider-Jsco) 7.5cm/4.5 & Prontor II T-B-1-175 (see here)
- Schneider unknown lens & Compur 300
- unknown lens & Compur-Rapid, probably to 1/500 (see here)
