Crystar Flex
This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.
The Crystar Flex was a moderate-priced Japanese TLR using a geared coupling between the focusing and taking lenses. The original 1953 model had a simple printed name plate, and no sportsfinder in its viewing hood. Its shutter speed range was 1/10-1/200 second. [1]
The slightly improved Crystar Flex IIA followed in 1954. This added a more substantial molded name plate, and a viewing hood with sportsfinder openings. Its shutter gained slow speeds to 1 second, missing on the earlier version. The shutter carried an ASA style sync post on its side (different from the front panel PC socket of the Crystar 25 AII).
