The names originally were Gabry and Roby but had to be italianized by order of the fascist regime. The Robi sports a 10.5cm/f=11 meniscus lens with fixed focus. Here another link with some more pictures of the camera. (CMF became Bencini after WWII). Being able to read Japanese(?) would help with this page. http://www.topgabacho.com/Bencini.htm Sorry, still no help finding the missing parts, I fear. rgds Martin
