This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.
There are at least two documented versions of the Fodorflex.
One was a rebadged Beautyflex D and was made for the Dutch distributor Fodor by Taiyōdō. It's origins are very clear, because the shutter is marked "Taiyōdō Koki Co Ltd". This model has the following specifications:
- Taking Lens: 80mm f/3.5 Biokor.
- Viewing Lens: Tri-Lausar
- Shutter: TKK Synchro-MXV, 1 to 1/300, M- and X- Flash synchronisation + self-timer.
A second Fodorflex is mentioned in McKeown, and speculated to be related to Sanwa Photographic's Mananflex, but there is no mention of the Fodorflex Model II, examples of which are known to exist. The Fodorflex II has the following specifications:
- Taking Lens: 75mm f/3.5 TOC (Tokyo Optical Company).
- Viewing Lens: 75mm f/3.5 TOC.
- Shutter: Rectus TOC (unknown specifications).
A fourth model, the Fodor B, is attributed to Taiyōdō by Barry Toogood, but no supporting information or details have been offered by Barry.
