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. In the model depicted here, both are Ennagon 75 lenses. They have identical specifiactions but for the white "s" and red "c" on the viewing and taking lens respectively.

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.
