Baby Lyra Flex
The Baby Lyra Flex (ベビーライラフレックス) is a Japanese camera, about which almost nothing is known. According to its name, it was made by Fuji Kōgaku. It is certainly a reflex camera (SLR, TLR or pseudo TLR) taking 3×4cm or 4×4cm exposures on 127 film.
The Baby Lyra Flex is only mentioned in the official list of set prices compiled in October 1940 and published in January 1941, for ¥77, with no further detail.[1] The price was the same as the Super Flex Baby, a 4×4 SLR made by Umemoto, and it was much higher than the Japanese 3×4 and 4×4 bakelite pseudo TLR of the time.
