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.
The camera 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 Convex Reflex was advertised in the November 1924 issue of Ars Camera as "soon coming to the market" (近々市場に出現する).[1] In a later advertisement, it was offered along with the Secrette 4.5×6cm detective camera and Apollo 6.5×9cm folder;[2] the price is given as ¥135 and the lens is described as 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.
