About

The Lausar (ローザー) and Baika (バイカ) are Japanese cameras taking 3×4cm pictures on 127 film, made c.1937 by Tomioka and perhaps Sankyō Kōgaku. They have a focal plane shutter and look like the Leica models of the time, though without a rangefinder. Their features are similar to the Riken No.1 and Gokoku, which appeared later and were perhaps related.
