Optica, Japan(?)

Some Nalcom-cameras came with a German manual stating that the camera is a "Optica Nalcom" one. Unfortunately it's unclear whether Optica and Nalcom have been one company or whether Optica was only a reseller for relabeled Nalcom-products. To make things even more confusing:

• Some "Optica"-cameras and -projectors have been sold without mentioning "Nalcom". These cameras/projectors can be found below.
• In the 1920s, the German company "Bing" (mainly known for producing toys and model railroads) used the brand name "Optica" for its slide- and 35mm-film-projectors (e.g. see http://www.cinegraphica.be/2007/10/optica-35mm-projector-bing-circa-1920.html )
