This camera, released in 1940 by Konishiroku (later Konica), uses 127 film and produces 4x6cm (Vest Pocket) format images. The original price was 33 yen. The viewfinder has two methods: wire frame and brilliant. (The wire frame is missing in this product.) The brilliant frame is cross-shaped to accommodate the 3x4cm (Vest Pocket half-frame) format. By adding a film mask, it is also possible to shoot in the Vest Pocket half-frame format. The lens is an Optar 75mm f/6.3, which was manufactured by Asahi Optical (later Pentax) at the time. It uses a fixed-focus, pan-focus system. The shutter is an Echo made by Rokkor-sha (the former company name of Konishiroku) and has four speeds: B, 1/25, 1/50, and 1/100 second. It is a type that does not require shutter charging. The shutter and aperture function well. The body has various flaws, including age-related scratches, dirt, and paint peeling. A part of the Bakelite winding dial is missing. The film counter window is a little stiff to open and close. The brilliant finder's mirror shows some dirt on the plating, but is generally in good condition. The bellows are considerably deteriorated, but there appear to be no holes. With the current difficulty in obtaining 127 film, the camera has almost no value as a camera, but it has significant value as a historical and cultural artifact.
