S.K.12 model

The Soho Myna was a 120 film folding camera made in England by Soho Ltd. from around 1929. There were two models, S.K.12 and All-Distance - and several variants of lens plate. The all-metal body was a tight fit to fold; the viewfinder had to be vertical, and the focus lever moved so that the pointer under the lens was in the "Set pointer here before closing camera" position, which moved the focus to infinity, retracting the lens as far as possible.

Soho was later merged into Kershaw, and the later Kershaw Eight-20 Penguin models (without an aperture selector) are very similar to the Myna - except the Myna has a metal key-type winder where the Penguin has a bakelite knob.
