The Osiroflex is a twin-lens reflex camera for 6x6 cm pictures on 120 film, made by the obscure Japanese maker Osiro Optical, which, as OMS Optical, apparently made only one other camera (the Marioflex, also a TLR). McKeown and Sugiyama date the Osiroflex to 1955.[1][2] An example of the Osiroflex is shown at Barry Toogood's TLR-Cameras.com,[3] with an 80 mm f/3.5 Osiro Optical lens, and an NKS-SC shutter with speeds 1 - 1/200 second, plus 'B', synchronised for flash with a PC socket on the front of the camera. The camera has its focus and film advance knobs on the right side, and the shutter release is positioned for the left index finger.
