The Gnome Pixie Flex is a Pseudo TLR made in Cardiff, Wales, UK, by Gnome from 1951. It had a crinkled black enamelled metal body. A later variant - shown in the images - had chromed front edges.
- Format: twelve 6x6cm images on 620 or 120 film.
- Simple shutter, I (instantaneous) & B only.
- Fixed-focus, fixed-aperture lens.
The Gnome Pre-view was another Pseudo TLR, which had two aperture settings. A lever switched between the options "cloudy" and "brilliant". It also had a flash sync port.
The Gnome Pixie was a similar camera, without the reflex viewfinder.
