AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
manufactured by Nishida Optical Co., Ltd. in Japan. Introduced in 1954, the Wester Six V was considered an advanced folding camera of its era, featuring a coupled rangefinder and the ability to use two image formats, 6×6 cm and 4.5×6 cm, on standard 120 roll film.
The camera is fitted with a Wester Anastigmat 75mm f/3.5 lens and retains its classic post-war Japanese design with folding bellows construction. The shutter has been tested and operates, and the bellows appear free from visible tears. The viewfinder exhibits slight haze, and the camera has not been tested with film. As a vintage photographic instrument, it is offered as a collector's item and may benefit from servicing before regular use.
A desirable piece of Japanese camera history, suitable for collectors of vintage folding cameras, rangefinder cameras, and mid-century photographic equipment.
