The Flexora was the first of that line of TLRs made by Lipca, Barntrup. It is in fact a continuation of the Flexo which had to change name after a trademark dispute with Franke & Heidecke.
It was sold with the following Lens/Shutter combinations :
- Type I, an Enna Ennar 3.5/7.5cm taking lens in either a Vario shutter.
- Type II, an Enna Ennar 3.5/7.5cm taking lens in a Prontor-S shutter.
- Type III, an Enna Ennagon 3.5/7.5cm taking lens in a Prontor-S shutter.
All taking lenses are coated.
Focusing is done by an anchor under the taking lens, like on the Minolta Autocord I and the Meopta Flexaret VII. It takes 6×6 pictures on 620 or 120 film. The film is transported with a knob on the right of the camera. An odd series of apertures 3.5, 4.5 5.3, 8, 12, 18 and 25 is marked on a scale under the taking lens.
A Frame-counter/Transport-stop was an option for the Flexora. This frame-counter was delivered to Lipca by Plaubel and closely resembles the counters Plaubel used on their prewar Roll-Op folding camera.
