Daido Six
Daidō Seiki (大同精工), the predecessor of Takane, brought out the Daido Six in December 1953. This was a rangefinderless folder whose body was based on that of the Mihama Six (which Takane was making for Mihama). It had two finders, for 6×6 and 6×4.5; and two windows for film numbers. Like all its successors, the Daido came with a 75mm f3.5 lens; this one was from a maker in Ikebukuro (Tokyo), and was named Daido; it had front-cell focussing. The NKS shutter provided for speeds of 1–1/200 and B.
Daido Semi
Daidō brought out the Daido Semi at the same time as the Daido Six. This was a simplified and cheaper version, for 6×4.5 only.
