Opurīna
The Opurīna[1] (オプリーナ) is a Japanese camera, only known from an entry in Kokusan kamera no rekishi, itself from a column in the October 1958 issue of Sankei Camera.[2] It is described as a beginners' camera made for export, distributed by Darian Shōkai, a company which is otherwise unknown.[2] The exposure size is unknown. The camera is said to have knob advance, manual shutter setting and an f/3.5 lens. Two versions are reported: the Opurīna A with B, 25–200 speeds and the Opurīna B with B, 25–300 speeds.
