Historical
information for HIT cameras:
The
Hit
is a
subminiature camera taking 14×14mm exposures on 17.5mm film, based by the
Tougodo
company based in Toyohashi, Japan.
The original Hit has an f/11 lens, an everset
shutter with release lever at the lens tube, and an advance knob that can't be turned into the wrong direction.
Its production started in the years when Japanese cameras were marked "Made in Occupied Japan"
(1947-1951), probably in 1950.
T
he earliest have a 30mm lens and just instant mode.
Later models have also B mode and a mode switch lever at the lens tube, opposite to the shutter release.
Some examples were made with a simple exposure counter at the base of the advance knob.
