Seikosha-SLV
The Seikosha-SLV was made by Seikōsha, the manufacturing branch of Hattori Tokei-ten. It has a quiet 5-blade leaf shutter with B, 1–500 speeds. A version without slow speeds existed. There is also a Seikosha-SLS with 1/1000 sec. that has been improved to achieve a faster shutter speed.
