− | Niimi does not mention Fukada Shōkai but says that the Doris of Tokyo Seiki was named after its maker (presumably meaning designer), a Mr Motodori<REF> A name that also appears in Motodori Shashin Kikai Kōgyō-sho, the maker of the [[Semi Lester]]. Maybe it is a coincidence. </REF> (本鳥): "Dori's camera", thus "Doris".<ref>Niimi, p. 92.</ref>

− | A 4.5×6 folder has been observed at a Yahoo Japan auction with the name ''DORIS'' engraved in the top housing. Its body was a copy of the [[Ikonta A]] but its finder was enclosed in a top housing, with an accessory shoe and a rotating depth-of-field scale. There were two horizontal lines on the front of the top housing, reminiscent of the [[Pearl II]] by [[Konishiroku]], but on the other side of the finder. There was one red window in the back, protected by a sliding cover. The lens was a 75mm f:3.5 (name barely legible, maybe Penta-Anastigmat) and the shutter had B, 1–200 speeds. A similar camera is pictured in {{McKeown}}, without the depth-of-field scale and with a Convex B, 10–200 shutter and a 75/3.5 lens. It is identified as a Doris Semi P and McKeown says that the lens is called "Perfa Anastigmat".
