Chiyoda Kōgaku Seikō (Chiyoko/Minolta) Konan with Promar 3,5/75mm | Analogue folding camera
A scarce Japanese folding camera from Chiyoda Kōgaku Seikō (later Minolta), often referred to as the Konan Flicker. Produced in the late 1940s to early 1950s. Designed for 120 roll film, it produces medium-format negatives (6x4.5 cm).
This camera reflects Japan’s transitional period of camera-making, inspired by prewar German folding designs but with distinct early Minolta engineering.
