The Elbow flex (エルボー・フレックス) was a Japanese 6x6 TLR series, sold by Elbow Camera Firm, who was probably only a distributor. The logo was an interlinked G and K (could be C and K, but G more probable). It appeared on the finder hood, the eveready case, the box and instruction manual.
Different versions have been observed:
- one version with a red window in the back, seen with:
- Eleger Anastigmat 8.0cm/3.5 viewing & taking lens, marked H.C. in red (for "Hard Coated"?), Ceres B-1-300 shutter (see here, the logo has fallen from the finder hood)
- another version with an exposure counter, seen with:
- Correct Anastigmat 80/3.5 viewing & taking lens, marked H.C. in red (for "Hard Coated"?), Rectus B-1-300 shutter (see here)
- same lens, TSK B-1-200 shutter (see here, barely legible)
At a Yahoo Japan auction, the version with exposure counter has been observed with a box and user manual. The box was labeled Elbow flex Model III, and it was marked ELBOW CAMERA FIRM CO. LTD. in English. The user manual was marked Elbow Shōkai (エルボー商会).
The Elbow flex with exposure counter was very similar to the Prince Junior camera, and they shared the same TSK, Ceres and Rectus shutters. It is possible that the two cameras were produced by the same company, maybe Tōyō Seiki (see also the Princeflex and Prince pages).
