Remove the viewfinder and you have a top down waist level finder with a removable focusing screen. Also like the Nikon F, Tokyo Kogaku had a large number of different focusing screens that could be changed depending on the use for the camera.
A11: If you want to save videos to FTP, you need to insert a micro SD card into your camera. Then the camera will save the alarm recordings to your FTP.Lewis, Gordon, ed. The History of the Japanese Camera. Rochester, N.Y.: George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography & Film, 1991. ISBN 0-935398-17-1 (paper), ISBN 0-935398-16-3 (hard). P.83. Perhaps in an effort to stand out from the crowded medium format and 35mm rangefinder market in Japan, in the mid 1950s Tokyo Kogaku would begin work on their own 35mm SLR camera. The new camera would be released in 1957 and called the Topcon R. It was unique among Japanese cameras in that it used the Exakta Bayonet mount used on Ihagee Exakta cameras. Tokyo Kogaku likely wanted to aim for the top of the market with their new SLR as the Exakta was the preferred SLR choice for professional photographers of the era. There was an abundance of Exakta mount lenses already available for it, allowing for an easy transition from someone who already had an Exakta system and was curious about a Japanese model.
I bought a Voigtlander Ultron SL 40/f2 as I saw some photos of the Bessaflex with this lens in various blogposts, and hoped it would work well, but again, the rear of the lens hits the mirror when focused over 3m….

Topcon Positioning Systems Inc., provides positioning technology for surveyors, civil engineers, construction contractors, equipment owners and operators. February 2008—Conducted a takeover bid for shares of Sokkia Co., Ltd. and made it a subsidiary to enhance competitiveness of the positioning business in the global market. In addition, a range of special lenses without focusing thread (to be used with bellows or focusing extension tube) were available for macro work: I never got close to the 300mm f/2.8 Topcor, the 200mm f/5.6 Topcor, or the 58mm f/3.5 Macro-Topcor. By then I had bought a Nikkormat FTN and was slowly adding Nikkor lenses as I could, while using a 90-230mm f/4.5 Soligor for the long end. The RE Super disappeared into storage once it developed frame spacing and “jittery needle” metering problems. It should have gotten the CLA treatment, but I was a Nikon F2 user by then. It is/was a system camera that I didn’t appreciate at the time, which I regret, especially since the satin chrome finish of the Auto Topcors “kept things cool.” Please press the “reset button” more than 20 seconds under charging to reset the camera if you want to change connection.A18: The prefixes shall be constant during the process of upgrading the firmware, you can see the prefixes from camera’s setting “Device Information”. Besides, please make sure that the camera and your computer are under the same network. During my research for this model, I could not find a lot of information about the success of these early cameras, but based on how little info there is, I have to guess they probably weren’t that successful. It is likely that like Nippon Kogaku, Tokyo Kogaku focused most of it’s effort on supplying the Japanese military, but as a result of the de-militarization of Japan after their surrender in the war, the company was forced to grow its portfolio into consumer oriented goods.
