| Fodor Record image by Hans Kerensky (Image rights) |
Japanese TLR made for the Dutch distributor Fodor. Sold in The Netherlands and Belgium around the year 1957.[1]
The Fodor Record is a Rolleicord-inspired twin lens reflex for 6×6 images on 120 film. It is one of a number of very similar models (such as the Accuraflex) which have been attributed to Tougodo[2]. For a discussion of similar Tougodo models, see Toyocaflex.
Taking lens is a Tri-Lausar Anastigmat 1:3,5 f=8cm triplet. The diaphragm can be set from 3.5 to 22. Viewer lens is a Tri-Lausar Viewer 1:3,5 f=8cm triplet.
The shutter (B, 1–300), is an unnamed leaf shutter and has a selftimer and flash synchronisation contact. The shutter has to be manually cocked for every exposure with a lever on the shutter itself. There is no double exposure prevention.
The focus is manually adjusted by turning a knob on the right-hand side.
The distance scale on that knob goes from 1 meter to infinity.
The film transport is completly manual and is done by a knob on the right-hand side. The transport has to be checked by watching the framenumbers on the film through an orange window on the back. This window can be closed by a slide.
