The Flexora II is a 1950s German TLR made by Lipca. It has Ennar 75/3.5 lenses made by Enna in München (Munich). The shutter is a Prontor-S with speeds of B, 1-1/300s. 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. A variant, the IIa, offered an automatic exposure counter.


The Flexo Richard and Richard Reflex are a name variants of both the Flexora and Flexora II produced for a Swiss distributor c1952.
It has an Enna Ennar 3.5/7.5cm lens in a Prontor-S shutter. At least one example of the Richard Reflex is observed with an Enna Ennagon 3.5/7.5cm lens in a Prontor-SVS shutter[1] .
