The Bessaflex TM is a retro styled SLR camera body for 35mm film by Cosina Voigtländer. It revived the 42mm screw mount for M42 lenses, providing stop-down TTL metering. This allows enthusiasts to shoot with desirable vintage lenses, on a body that is not itself many decades old (and possibly in need of repair).
