About

The Idea (アイデア) are Japanese plate folders made by Rokuoh-sha, the manufacturing branch of Konishiroku (predecessor of Konica). This page is about the models made after the introduction of a metal body in 1930, existing in 6.5×9cm or 8×10.5cm size. These models replaced the Idea No.1 wooden models. All the metal Idea have a vertical body and split folding struts. Some cameras were sold under the name Weha Idea (ウエハーアイデア) by Yamamoto Shashinki-ten.
