About
The Vest Alex (ベスト・アレックス) is a Japanese camera taking 4×6.5cm pictures on 127 film, sold from 1936 by Misuzu Shōkai, and modified in 1937 as a dual-format camera (4×6.5cm and 3×4cm). The Vest Olympic (ベスト・オリンピック) is a rebadged version, introduced in late 1937 by Asahi Bussan. That company was soon absorbed into Riken and became Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō. After 1938 or 1939, the distribution of the cameras was gradually taken over by Riken Kōgaku Kōgyō, and the Vest Olympic was sold until 1941 or 1942.
