The Convex Reflex (コンベックスレフレックス) is a Japanese SLR camera taking daimeishi (6.5×9cm) plates or pack film, made by Sone Shunsuidō in the 1920s. It is only known from one advertisement, where it is offered along with the Secrette 4.5×6cm detective camera and Apollo 6.5×9cm folder.[1]

The Convex Reflex has a box-shaped body with a rigid tapered front, a large viewing hood, a focusing helical and various controls on the photographer's right, certainly to wind, set and trip the focal plane shutter. The text of the advertisement says that the lens is a Complanar (コンプラナー) f/4.5, specially made by a French company in Paris for Tokyo Camera Works, the manufacturing branch of Sone Shunsuidō. The price is given as ¥135.
