The name Doris appears on various Japanese cameras:
- cameras attributed to a company called Prince Camera Works:
- Baby Doris, 3×4 folding
- cameras attributed to a company called Tokyo Seiki in McKeown, more probably Toyo Seiki (Tōyō Seiki Kōgaku, 東洋精機光学):
- various 4.5×6 folding models
- cameras attibuted to a company called Doris Camera (ドリスカメラ):
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 depth-of-field knob. 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 knob 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".
