Chronology of cameras Foto-Flex
Traduction de Sylvain Halgand.
There is a singular contradiction between what the note says accompanying the camera and what is written inside even camera.
On the note, the address of the mark is: Foto-Flex Corp. 2215 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 16, Ill, whereas inside the camera, a transfer indicates “Made in the U.S.A. by HADDS MFG. Co. Chicago. Ill.”.
This camera is strange, because in a rather conventional horizontal form, a TLR hides. The large round thing which resembles a lens is purely decorative and fixed, but encircles two small apertures. That the top is the finder. Thanks to a mirror, the image is returned on dulled, protected by a lid. The frosted one is perfectly unusable, the image being quasi impossible to find!. The very small aperture of bottom is the lens.
