Riken Adler B

The Adler B was a 35mm camera produced by Riken in 1938. Representing Japan's early entry into the popular 135 format market alongside contemporaries like Canon, it was designed as a straightforward, functional camera for consumers. Built during a period when Japanese manufacturers were establishing themselves in photography, the Adler B offered basic functionality for everyday photography, likely featuring a simple shutter system and fixed or limited lens options, typical of its era and market position. Its design and capabilities were aligned with making the 35mm format more accessible to the domestic Japanese public.
