Introduction
The Flexaret series of TLR cameras was made by Meopta (and its predecessors) in Czechoslovakia. The Flexaret IIa is a fully mechanical camera with an all-metal body. The body is covered in black leather. The Meopta logo is on the black sports finder of the viewing hood. The name plate is marked flexaret only.
The Flexaret IIa shoots medium format 6x6 images on type 120 Rollfilm.
Transport and Shutter
The film is advanced by a knob on the right side. There's no automatic stop; the ruby window in the back has to be watched for the next frame number to appear. The Flexaret IIa has a Gauthier [Prontor] II leaf shutter (T, B, 1–1/200s) with selftimer but without flash synchronisation. A double exposure prevention is not present.
