The Special East is a Japanese 6.5×9cm plate folder, distributed by Sone Shunsuidō in 1929.
The camera has an all-metal body, apparently with single extension bellows. Its folding struts, front standard and handle attachments are very similar to that of the original Kinka, of which it might be a name variant. There is a brilliant finder offset to the left, and there is no wireframe finder.
The Special East was advertised in the May 1929 issue of Asahi Camera.[1] In the advertisement, the camera is presented as a new model (新発売). The shutter is described as giving T, B, 25, 50, 100 speeds, and the picture shows a dial-set Vario. The lens is given as an Anastigmat f/6.3, with no further detail. The camera cost ¥28 and was supplied with a cable release, three plate holders and one film-pack holder.
