Tokyo Optical Co., Ltd. PRIMO-JR 4x4 TLR camera, tested and working.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Primo Jr 4X4 roll film TLR. Made by Tokyo Kogaku, the manufacturer of Topcon cameras. The camera was released between 1958 and 1960 and sold one year after the Rolleiflex 4x4. The camera is in nearly new condition. The lens has no mold, only a tiny scratch, and it is being auctioned in its original box. The shutter works well by ear, including at longer exposures. Film transport is via a handle on the side of the camera, which also tensions the shutter. Set the film counter with the film inside the camera! The viewfinder is bright and clear, and focusing is smooth. The taking lens is a Topcor 1:2.8 f=6cm. Shutter speeds range from B to 1/500. The photos provide an honest view of the camera.
