I recently acquired an old folding camera with "Semi Prince" printed on it. I haven't been able to find any information about it anywhere so far. Anybody ever heard of this?

I believe the Semi Prince was made by Fujimoto in Japan and was a copy of a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520 (Ikonta A). I think they were made roundabout about 1936.
