Made by Daiichi, and very similar to the Waltax.
Existing models:
- Zenobia C, PI, PII
- Zenobia CI, CII
- Zenobia R
- Zenobia RI, RII
- Zenobia HI, HII
- Zenobia Super SRI
- Zenobia M
The Zenobia C, PI and PII are continuations of the Waltax, with a Hesper 75/3.5 lens. The C has a synched DOC Rapid B, 1–500 shutter, the PI has a synched NKS B, 1–200 and the PII is the same with a selftimer.
The Zenobia CI is like the C, and the CII has a synched Seikosha-Rapid B, 1–500.
The Zenobia R is a CII with an uncoupled rangefinder. It became RII, while the RI has the DOC Rapid, later Daiichi-Rapid shutter.
The Zenobia HI and HII switch from front-cell to helicoid focusing. The HI has the DOC Rapid and the HII has the Seikosha-Rapid.
The Zenobia Super SRI has a coupled rangefinder with front cell focusing, Neo-Hesper 75/3.5 and Daiichi-Rapid B, 1–500.
The Zenobia M is a project.
