<p>Does anyone have any idea/info/experience with this Supra V 18 Camera? I'd like to have all info I can find about this camera since it is on its way to me after a sucessful bid.<br>

It is some sort of a rangefinder, the lens is made by Nippon Kosoki Ind. TIA!<br>

A good quality, midline Japanese rangefinder. Your's looks very clean, congrats.</p>

<p>Thanks Louis for your very quick response. I'd never know its name had you not shown me in the right direction. I googled Supra V18 without any results before posting it here for help.<br>

It looks like a clean unit, and I am anxious to lay my hands on it.</p>

<p>My first camera in 1963 was a Supra, but not this particular model. I replaced it in 1966 with a Spotmatic. My camera is now lost in the mist of time but I remember it well; and it was a very good camera.</p>
