Gnoflex
The Gnoflex is a quite unknown camera from the 1950ies, a Rolleiflex copy available in different versions, and made quite well, but by whom? That's not known.
There were two different models. The Gnoflex has an Elnor 75mm f3.5 lens and NKS-FB 1 to 1/300 shutter, and was probably was produced by the Musashi Company. The Gnoflex II has a Hitar 80mm f3.5 lens and Synchro-Super 1 to 1/300 shutter. It very closely resembles the Fodorflex II which was made by Taiyōdō Kōki, who were know to favour 80mm (rather than 75mm) lenses.
