The Viceroy was a Pseudo TLR roll-film box camera produced by Haking starting around 1960 in Hong Kong. It was offered in several name variants, such as Kinoflex De Luxe, and Star-Lite (no relation to the Taisei Kōki-made 35mm camera).
The lens plate is labelled "HAKING'S SUPER REFLEX" below the taking lens. Picture format is twelve 6x6cm images on 120 film. Lens: Haking's Double Meniscus f.8,
The shutter and aperture controls are operated by knobs either side of the space between the lenses, imitating the Rolleiflex, among other more costly true TLRs. However the lens only offers the settings of f/8, f/11 and f/16 ; and the shutter only B & I . The camera has a flash synch connector and a cold accessory shoe on the side.
A similar camera, with the same body and lens but simpler controls and without the accessory shoe, was the Halina Prefect, of 1960.
