Sugaya Kōki Seisakusho
Sugaya Kōki Seisakusho (菅谷光機製作所)[1] was a Japanese company based in Tokyo, Kanda during World War II.[2] Its name appears in an advertisement dated October 1943 for rangefinder conversions distributed by Sankō-sha and by Matsuzaki Shashinki-ten.[3]
Sugaya Seikō
Sugaya Seikō K.K. (菅谷精光㈱) was a Japanese camera maker in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was based in Tokyo, Kanda; its address seems very close to that of the former company Sugaya Kōki Seisakusho, and it might correspond to the same physical location after some reorganization of the postal system.[4] It made the Myracle, Hope, Rubix and Rubina subminiature cameras taking 17.5mm or 16mm film.
