Semi Sport
The Semi Sport (セミスポーツ) was a 4.5x6 folding camera introduced by Fujimoto in 1940. It was an evolution of the Semi Prince, essentially a copy of the Ikonta 520.
Known lens/shutter combinations:
- 7.5cm/3.5 Lucky Anastigmat & Rapidex T-B-1-300 shutter (both made by Fujimoto) (for sale at a dealer)
- reported at ebay auction with 7.5cm/4.5 Laack Regulyt & Rapidex T-B-1-300 shutter
The Semi Sport was advertised during the war (see here, wartime post 1942) with a selftimer equipped Rapidex T-B-1-300 shutter and a choice of three lenses:
- 7.5cm/3.5 Lucky Anastigmat, for ¥188
- 7.5cm/4.5 Lucky Anastigmat, for ¥142
- 7.5cm/4.5 with name unreadable (3 kanji+ラックレグ+?+ット, possibly Laack Regulyt), also for ¥142
Case available for an additional 7.7 yen.
On the ad's picture there is a Semi Sport marking on the body, absent from the one shown at Japan Family Camera.
