1956 Zuiho Opt. Tokyo Honor S1 il bottone di avanzamento contiene un memo film in uso. l'otturatore fornisce tempi da 1 sec a 1/500, controllato da due diverse ghiere. La fotocamera è sincronizzata per il flash con uno o due innesti . Era dotata di dorso rimovibile simile a quello della Contax o della Nikopn a telemetro. Si distinguono 2 versioni: la prima versione recava il logo "Honor Opt." , il fondello recava delle protrusioni e l'innesto per il cavalletto era centrale al fondello. La versione due recava il logo "Zuiho Opt.,", le protrusioni del fondello sono scomparse, e l'innesto per il cavalletto fu spostato al bordo del fondino. The advance knob contains a film reminder disc. The shutter provides speeds from 1sec to 1/500sec, with the fast and slow speeds controlled by two separate dials. The camera is synchronized for flash, via one or two PC sockets at the front. The other unusual feature was a removable back, similar to that used on the Nikons and Contax cameras. Type 1 cameras were marketed "Honor Opt." on the top plate. Initially the shutter speeds progressed 20, 40 and 60. Type 1 cameras are marketed "Zuiho Opt.," and the speeds become 25, 50 and 75. The fastest speed on both versions was 500. The baseplate has protrusions for the tripod socket, which is in the center of the baseplate. Type II was similar to the Type I, but the tripod socket is moved to the end of the camera under the wind knob, and the protrusions on the baseplate have been eliminated. ottica Hexanon 1,9/50 circa 400 picture courtesy of Pacific Rim Camera

1957 Melcon I, Melcon II Melcon Leica Screw Mount rangefinder camera made by Meguro Kogaku Kogyo (Meguro Optical Indutries) in Japan. Meguro is name of one of the 23 wards that make up Tokyo. This model was made between 1955 and 1957, and only about 1,700 or 1,800 bodies were produced, but HPR in his book Leica Copies gives production figure of about 1,500 bodies. Either way, this is a rare camera. Originally Melcon cameras were sold either with a Nippon Kogaku 50mm F 2 Nikkor or a Konishiroku 50mm F 3.5 Hexar lens. Melcon is somewhat unusual among Leica Screw Mount cameras because it has hinged back door rather than a removable bottom plate, and also because the take-up spool is fixed. Melcon cameras are very solidly made, and it is said that Nippon Kogaku (later Nikon) assisted in the development of the model and was also involved in quality control. Please see this article for more information: http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Melcon. The Melcon II was much inspired by the Nikon S2 or Contax IIa, but with 39x1 leica screw fit. ottica Nikkor 2.0/50 RARISSIME, soprattutto la versione II Very rare, overall the second version	picture courtesy of Pacific Rim Camera
