Rummaging virtually through the local online auction site a couple of weeks back, I spotted a rather interesting camera. My favourite type, being a MF folder, but one with a rather rare feature: brightlines in the viewfinder. Of course, I had to buy it!
What did I buy?

There can't be many of such models.
I havent seen one such camera, what is it?

It's got a rangefinder.
It was made prior to 1960.
And I think there were only 3 or four folding cameras so equipped.

Super Ikonta? 531 maybe?

Never heard of these, but there…Late versions of the Mine Six have framelines, the Pearl IV has framelines; the Super Pontura (I think it's called) even has parallax-adjusted framelines if I remember right

It is Japanese, and shoots 6x6 and 6x4.5.
Hint: think India.

More than good enough! This is not any old lens. But the India hint has got me more confused than before!And a photo from the first test roll.
