That Nicca looks an awful lot like my Canon IIb which was also a copy of
a Leica. Am I correct?
Yes, they were essentially Leica copies. Started in 1940 as Kogaku Seiki
Co. In 1948 operated as Nippon Camera Works and the from 1949 to 1958 as Nicca
Camera Works. In 1958 they were absorbed by Yashica. This one has Canon lens
on it if I remember correctly. Bill Barber
