Alpenflex IIS Hachiyo Opt.Co ALPO f3.5/7.5cm Orient III #552536 ACTUALLY FILM LOADED INTRODUCTION:Alpenflex Type IIS was released by Hachiyo Kogaku in 1954. Hachiyo Kogaku is a manufacturer that was separated from the former Shiojiri factory of Nikon after the war, and it is said that the lenses are made of Nikon materials. Please take a look of the attached photos taken by this camera. As like the Nikon lens, the contrast is very beautiful. This camera's shutter is Orient III of B, 1~1/200 second of speed, with ALPO 1:3.5 f=7.5cm. Aperture is from 3.5 to 22. This lens’s material is used as which Nikon used. Pictures taken by this camera used Fujifilm Across 100 B/W. It shows pretty good sharpness and contrast.
