#redirect [[Tsubasa Nettar and Tsubasa Kiko Three]]
The '''Tsubasa Nettar''' (ツバサネッター) is a [[Japanese 4.5×6 folders|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<REF> {{Showa10ad|Tsubasa Nettar and Tsubasa Super Semi|151|October 1940|Asahi Camera}} </REF> together with the [[Tsubasa Super Semi]]. The shutter has 1&ndash;300 speeds and is probably called Kulax<REF> The "Kulax" spelling inferred from the name ''kurakkusu'' (クラツクス) in ''katakana''. Kigawa, successor to Optochrom, later made a camera called [[Semi Kulax]]. </REF> 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, {{Kokusan}} only mentions two advertisements. No other source mentions this camera and no example has been observed yet. Maybe it was never sold, and maybe the use of the Nettar name caused some protest. The [[Tsubasa Kiko III]] is an upgraded version of this camera.
