The Ansco Cadet Reflex was a pseudo TLR made in Binghampton, New York by Ansco, introduced in c.1959. It took twelve 4x4cm images on 127 film.

Sylvain Halgand shows a variation on the front design, and points out that the Beacon reflex was almost identical.

The design was in competition with the contemporary, very much alike Kodak Brownie Star series - particularly the Starflex - with the winder in the base with a central foot, the strap loops, the three-point flash contacts and the general layout.

There is also a digital camera called Ansco Cadet Reflex.
