Doryu 2-16 wide angle

The Doryu 2-16 wide-angle lens is a unique item for any camera collector, especially those with a penchant for the unusual. The camera has been inspected by Expert Edwin Molenaar on site and it works like it should, how ever shutterspeeds are not tested for accuracy and no film has been used in the testing procedure. A video can be seen of the item here https://youtu.be/LY_Wfa2nXJc?feature=shared Production numbers for the wide-angle Doryu 2-16 are exceptionally low. While the exact number is unknown, any Doryu 2-16 is uncommon, this wide-angle version is even scarcer. Just finding one available for purchase would be a coup for a collector. The Doryu 2-16 was produced by the Doryu company (later known as Nihon 16-miri Shashin Kōgyō) from 1954 to 1956. This was a short window, and the wide-angle version was likely produced in even fewer numbers. Owning a Doryu 2-16 wide-angle lens isn't just about acquiring a camera; it's about owning a unique piece of photographic history. Sold with its original leather pouch. #ExclusivePhotographersStudio
