Olympus Chrome Six II + Zuiko F.C. 7.5cm f/2.8 — Classic 1940s Japanese Dual-Format Folding Camera, 6×6 / 4.5×6 Medium Format, Fast Tessar-Type Lens This is an Olympus Chrome Six II folding medium-format camera paired with the desirable Olympus Zuiko F.C. 7.5cm f/2.8 lens — the brighter, upgraded six-element variant introduced in October 1948. Built by Takachiho (later Olympus), the Chrome Six series was Japan's most refined post-war folding camera, offering dual-format flexibility (6×6 cm or 4.5×6 cm) on standard 120 roll film. The f/2.8 Zuiko version is considerably less common and more sought-after than the f/3.5 variant.
