Chronology of cameras Asahi Bussan
In 1934 Asahi Bussan offers the Olympic A, a plain copy of the Rubette german camera from Ruberg & Renner. The lens and the shutter are a little different but they have the same settings.
Historically it is one of the first Japanese bakelite camera and also one of the first Japanese camera offered for export.
In a second version the camera has evolved, distinguishing itself from its german original by acquiring an optical viewfinder.
