This camera was launched in 1947 (Occupied Japan) by Riken Kogaku (Richo), Japan and used 16mm film.
It was produced as a high-quality camera.
While the other midget cameras used 17.5 mm-wide film with leader paper, Steky adopted the film cartridge into which 16 mm-wide rolled film was inserted. And the picture size of Steky was 10 x 14mm. In addition, although the frame counter on the camera side has the scale up to 24 exp., it takes up to 20 exposures in most of the cases using the 45 cm-long 16 mm film.
