Hello, I'm very surprised that you mentionned that the Samoca shutters were Vario or Prontor. I don't think any japanese manufacturer bought their shutters to Germany, they were much to expensive to produce low priced cameras. Moreover, I think the after WWII Vario had a speed range from 1/25 to 1/200. Regards.

The terms 'Vario type' and 'Prontor type' were taken directly from Samoca Paperwork supplied with the Cameras. The inclusion of the phrase 'type' must infer a japanese copy of the german original....I will edit the Samoca pages to make this more clear.

I have now added 'type' to the description. It should have been there to start with ! Thanks for spotting the error Dbroglin.

A note about image inclusion

Hi, I noticed that when you made this edit you removed the link back to the Flickr user page. Camera-wiki.org depends on Flickr to host our images; and one requirement of theirs is that you be able to "click through" back to the original source page on Flickr. The best solution is just to use our Flickr image template and fill in all its fields (unless you need to do something tricky).

I readily admit, adding images in wiki articles is much more confusing than it ought to be. But that's the reason we have such an extensive help article about it. Cheers, --Vox 16:58, 10 August 2011 (PDT)
