The company Shinkō (新光) was mentioned in the "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras"), listing the Japanese camera production as of April 1943. It was certainly called Shinkō Seiki (perhaps 新光精機).[1] It made the Shinko Baby or Rorox and certainly also the Shinkoflex and the Shinko Super.[2]
Notes
- ↑ This name is written on the shutter plate of a Rorox pictured in McKeown, p. 891.
- ↑ The "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras") says that the company made the body, lens and shutter of the Shinko Baby, the lens and shutter of the Flex Six and Shinkoflex and the lens of the Shinko Super (the other information about the Shinkoflex and Shinko Super is missing).
