Teica
The Teica (テイカ) is a Leica copy made by the Japanese company Teikoku Kōgaku (later called Zunow), about which almost nothing is known. The camera appears in a single article by Sakurai Minoru (桜井実) in the September 1951 issue of Photo Art, reported in the book Kokusan kamera no rekishi.[1] The camera is described as a copy of the Leica II, equipped with a Zunow 50/1.2 lens designed by Mr. Hamano (浜野), who formerly worked for Nippon Kōgaku. No other detail is known, and no surviving example of the camera has been found so far.
