The Tsubasa Nettar (ツバサネッター) is a Japanese 4.5×6 folder made by the company Optochrom in 1940. It has a horizontal folding body with struts similar to the Ikonta A by Zeiss Ikon. The name "Nettar" itself is of course an allusion to the Nettar also made by Zeiss Ikon.
The Tsubasa Nettar has an advance knob on the bottom right of the body. There is a folding optical finder on the center of the top plate, a body release on the right and the folding bed opening button on the left.
It is advertised in 1940[1] together with the Tsubasa Super Semi. The shutter has 1–300 speeds and is called kurakkusu (クラツクス) in katakana. There is a choice of two lenses both called Erinar, with f:4.5 or f:3.5 aperture, but no price is indicated. The advertisement shows a TSUBASA NETTAR logo, that is probably engraved in the folding struts.
The Tsubasa Nettar was short lived, and no example has been observed yet. It was followed by the upgraded Tsubasa Kiko III.
