Olympus Chrome Six IIIA (1951)

The Olympus Chrome Six IIIA was launched in 1951 as the successor to the Olympus Chrome Six I. Olympus engineers used all of their expertise to enhance and refine every aspect of the camera. Features included a film surface stabilizer that created a flat surface by pulling both ends of the loaded film. This system, the first of its type in the world, was used in subsequent models and was one of the technologies that earned Olympus cameras an excellent reputation for image clarity.
