Union Ref and Hansa Rollette Ref
Revision as of 14:10, 2 August 2006 by Rebollo fr (talk | contribs) (big mistake, this is a 4.5x6 camera)
The Hansa Rollette Ref (ハンザ・ローレット・レフ) has a different shape, squarer than the models described above. It is also slightly earlier: it appears in the catalogue of Yamashita Yūjirō Shōten dated April 1937[1]. Its price was ¥16. It is said to have a Tribar[2] 50/8 lens and a T, B, 25–100 shutter.[3]
