Welmy 6

[Greyscale]

Not a rangefinder, but since there is no subforum for 120 viewfinder folders, I will post here.

My first shots with my Taisei Kōki Welmy 6, a somewhat unheralded Japanese folder, with a front-focusing coated Terionar 75mm 1:4.5 lens (probably a triplet?). I found it to be quite a pleasant surprise. Shot on Kodak TMAX 100.

They look even better here than on Flickr, Mike. Yes, the Terionar is a triplet, and a good one at that. They were also used on the Kalimar series of 35mm cameras built by TK.

Congrats on the find. I have one as well, handed down by my father. Enjoy!
