The Flexo is a German TLR made by Lipca in the immediate post war period, probably in 1949. It was an early model in a series that included the Flexoras and Rollops. The Flexo has either Ennar or Ennagon 75/3.5 lenses made by Enna in Muenich.

The shutter is a Prontor-S with speeds of B, 1-1/300s. An odd series of apertures 3.5, 4.5 6.3, 9, 12, 18 and 25 is marked on a scale under the taking lens. Focusing is done by an anchor under the taking lens, like on the Minolta Autocord I and the Meopta Flexaret VII. When focusing, only the lens tubes move; the front plate stays in place. At least two variations of the Flexo exist; one with a scale in feet and one with a meter scale.


The Flexo takes 6×6 pictures on 620 or 120 film. The film is transported with a knob on the right of the camera. This knob is slightly conical and that makes advancing the film a little more comfortable.

The Flexo has no frame counter; film advance is checked through a ruby window on the back.
