Welmi Six 6x6 (Fuji)

[Attila]

In 1951 the Welmy Six line was produced in Japan by [url=http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Taisei_K%C5%8DkiTaisei Koki[/url]. Most models have the f3.5 75mm triplet under some moniker and basic, limited range, non-self cocking shutters. These budget models don’t generally get faster than 1/400. It can be confusing to keep track of the history of the Welmy. You’ll find models marked Welmy, Welmy 6, Welmy Six, Welmy VI including E, L and W versions. There are models made under the manufacturer Taisei Kouki, Taisei Koki, or Nariko like the one I have. This Nariko version simply has the word ‘Welmy’ in a script font etched into the top of the viewfinder housing and a Nariko name plate on the front. The original leatherette had ‘Welmy Six’ embossed on the back of the camera. I have since removed all original covering and replaced it with thin black and red suede.
