The Corfield 66 was a 6x6 format single lens reflex, introduced in Great Britain by Corfield (the makers of the Periflex) in 1961 at a price of £76.
The Corfield 66 had a focal plane shutter from 1/10 to 1/500. It accepted 120 film in rollfilm backs, and had an interchangeable lens with a special bayonet mount, but the only lens ever made for it was the standard Corfield Lumax 95mm f/3.5. The known accessories are a grip and extension tubes, in 12mm, 24mm and 48mm lengths.
Fewer than 300 bodies were made before Corfield stopped making cameras, and eventually closed down.
