To my fairly certain knowledge, the Japanese never had any of the Ross HK 7's. The camera to which I MEANT to refer was the progenitor of the HK 7, the HK 12,5/7x9" aerial recon camera produced by Fritz Volk in Berlin. We DO know that the Japanese had several of these, and that they were used for work demanding extraordinary clarity or accuracy.
