Ehira Six Folding Camera
 Tomioka Kogaku 85mm f/3.5 Lens

Serial number: 10810

Complete with case

The Ehira Six and Astoria Super Six are horizontal folders, strongly inspired by the Super Ikonta. The body is perhaps based on the body of the Weha Chrome Six rigid model.

There is a combined range- and viewfinder. The viewfinder window is offset to the left and the second image window is to the right. The lens is front-cell focusing and the rangefinder coupling is optical, with no mechanical linkage: the front element of the lens is geared to an optical device placed in front of the second image window and focusing is controlled by a small wheel protruding from the lens casing. It is not known if the optical coupling lens is a wedge prism as on the Super Ikonta and other Zeiss Icon models or a laterally moving lens as on the earlier Weha Chrome Six, also made by Ehira.



The camera is in poor cosmetic condition, please see photos provided.


The camera is for spare & repairs
