Summar barn door lens shade made by Schmidt Shoten Tokyo

[bobkonos]

Hi Jim, and welcome. I just got a Summar barn door lens shade made by Schmidt Shoten Tokyo, as shown on page 41 in your Volume 2 (Lenses) book. Any idea how many were made? Were they exported?

I found a history of the company here: http://www.schmidtelectronics.com/milestones.aspx

Thanks for any insights you can share.
