Bunny
The Bunny is a viewfinder camera for 6x6 exposures on 120 film, made in Germany by Vredeborch, and also (at some time) in India by Camera Works Private Ltd,[1][2] presumably under licence for the local market (Camera Works' relationship with Vredeborch may have been that of a contractor, or Vredeborch may have invested in the local firm and taken a part-share, as Agfa did in their Indian manufacturer, New India Industries). Cameras are printed Made in Germany or Made in India below the lens. The camera is apparently identical to the Felica, with two apertures and shutter speeds 1/25 and 1/50 second, plus 'B', and focus in three zones. There is a reverse-galilean viewfinder on the top, and a cold shoe, with a PC socket on the shutter barrel.
