{{WIP}}
Japanese [[kabine]]-format field cameras were the mainstay of photographers at the nation's Shinto shrines providing portraits of visitors attending ceremonial events ¶¶¶. The collapsible single- and double extension cameras, based on British designs,  were produced by a range of manufacturers, chiefly [[Asanuma | Asanuma Shōten]] (浅沼商店), but also [[Konishi | Konishi Honten]] (小西本店), [[Funahashi]],  [[Oriental | Oriental Shashin]] (オリエンタル写真) and others.

The design of the cameras remained stable from the turn of the nineteenth century until World War II. Initially a range of lenses was utilised, subject to the penchant of the individual photographer, coupled with the range of offerings by the camera maker or distributor. Documented are, ''inter alia'', ¶¶¶
  
In the 1930s, the primary lenses were 21cm barrel lenses fitted with a slip on [[Thornton-Pickard]]-type  [[Shutter#Rouleau shutter and Focal plane shutter | rouleau shutter]]. In addition to imported German lenses, esp. [[Zeiss]], a number of Japanese lens manufacturers carried 21cm to service the demand:

In the 1930s, the primary lenses for the [[kabine]]-format cameras were 21cm barrel lenses fitted with a slip on [[Thornton-Pickard]]-type  [[Shutter#Rouleau shutter and Focal plane shutter | rouleau shutter]] usally mounted in front of the lens. In addition to imported German, esp. [[Zeiss]], as well as French lenses (e.g. [[TCW lenses |TCW "Modelar]] distributed by [[Sone | Tokyo Camera Works]]), a number of Japanese lens manufacturers carried 21cm offerings to service the demand:
 
* [[Konishi|Rokuoh-Sha]] [[Hexar]] 21cm f/4.5
 
* [[Konishi|Rokuoh-Sha]] [[Hexar]] 21cm f/4.5
 +
* [[Minolta]] [[Rokkor]] 21cm f/4.5
 +
* [[Tōkyō Kōgaku]] [[Simlar]] 21cm f/4.5
 
* [[T.Y.O.W.]]  Taiyo Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5 and f/6.3
 
* [[T.Y.O.W.]]  Taiyo Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5 and f/6.3
* [[Tōkyō_Kōgaku]] [[Simlar]] 21cm f/4.5
 
 
* [[WIPA]] Yamat-Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5
 
* [[WIPA]] Yamat-Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5
* [[Yamasaki]] [[Congo]] 21cm f/4.5

* [[Yamasaki]] [[Congo | Congo Anastigmat]] 21cm f/4.5

Of these, the Congo and Hexar lenses are the most common.
  
===Distinguishing Characteristics===

==Tripods==
 +
The cameras have a tripod base that allows slipping in three individual legs
  
 +
add images, but reshoot them first

 +
==Distinguishing Characteristics==
 +
 +
 +
===Front Standard===
 +
The front standard of a field camera requires two key movements to allow the camera being folded and two movements to allow for vertical adjustment. To allow the full collapse of  a field camera into its transport position, the front standard needs to be folded back, but the lens board needs to be swivelled forward. To allow for vertical adjustment of the optical axis, the camera needs to allow the lens board be moved upwards (shift) and swivelled back or forward (tilt). To allow for reliable outcomes, the photographer requires the ability to lock the front standard in place in it's desired position. Moreover, the lens cannot remain in place when the camera is collapsed. It can either be unscrewed from its flange on the lens board, or the entire lens board can be removed. A number of engineering solutions exist for all these requirements, which provide for distinguishing features.  In addition, the metal work (brackets, screws an knobs) exhibits variations in design.

Japanese Field Cameras

Japanese kabine-format field cameras were the mainstay of photographers at the nation's Shinto shrines providing portraits of visitors attending ceremonial events ¶¶¶. In addition, smaller tefuda-sized units were also manufactured

Overview

The collapsible single- and double extension cameras, based on British designs, were produced by a range of manufacturers, chiefly Asanuma Shōten (浅沼商店), but also Konishi Honten (小西本店), Funahashi, Okuhara, Oriental Shashin (オリエンタル写真), Tachihara (タチハラ写真機製作所) and others.

Lenses

The design of the cameras remained stable from the turn of the nineteenth century until World War II. Initially a range of lenses was utilised, subject to the penchant of the individual photographer, coupled with the range of offerings by the camera maker or distributor. Documented are, inter alia, ¶¶¶

In the 1930s, the primary lenses for the kabine-format cameras were 21cm barrel lenses fitted with a slip on Thornton-Pickard-type rouleau shutter usally mounted in front of the lens. In addition to imported German, esp. Zeiss, as well as French lenses (e.g. TCW "Modelar distributed by Tokyo Camera Works), a number of Japanese lens manufacturers carried 21cm offerings to service the demand:

Of these, the Congo and Hexar lenses are the most common.

Tripods

The cameras have a tripod base that allows slipping in three individual legs

add images, but reshoot them first

Distinguishing Characteristics

Front Standard

The front standard of a field camera requires two key movements to allow the camera being folded and two movements to allow for vertical adjustment. To allow the full collapse of a field camera into its transport position, the front standard needs to be folded back, but the lens board needs to be swivelled forward. To allow for vertical adjustment of the optical axis, the camera needs to allow the lens board be moved upwards (shift) and swivelled back or forward (tilt). To allow for reliable outcomes, the photographer requires the ability to lock the front standard in place in it's desired position. Moreover, the lens cannot remain in place when the camera is collapsed. It can either be unscrewed from its flange on the lens board, or the entire lens board can be removed. A number of engineering solutions exist for all these requirements, which provide for distinguishing features. In addition, the metal work (brackets, screws an knobs) exhibits variations in design.
