About

The Elca is a 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera made by Mamiya in 1958. It is notable as the first Japanese camera to have match-needle metering,[1] using a selenium meter cell, presumably made for Mamiya by Sekonic, which can accept Sekonic's booster cell to extend its usefulness to low light, as pictured here. The meter readout window is to the right of the accessory shoe.
