The Olympus Six was a further development of the Semi-Olympus. The name is based on the 120 roll film format for 6x6 exposures. It incorporated a fixed Zuiko 75mm F3.5 lens and a Koho shutter.
Production of this camera was stopped between 1942 and 1945 because of the war.
The post war Olympus Chrome Six used a diecast body for higher precision and strength. In the Model II a Zuiko 75mm F2.8 was used. Model III intoduced a Film Plane Stabilizer which improved sharpness.
The Chrome Six IVa had a 75mm/F3.5 lens and an uncoupled rangefinder
