Heinz Kilfitt was a marvelously prolific camera designer, as well as founder of the Kilfitt optical works, in München (Munich) Germany. His early success in designing the Robot camera was followed by the Mecaflex, produced to his design. He was designer of the Kowa Six and said to have had a hand in the design of the Kalimar Reflex. In later years, Kilfitt became known as an innovator in lens design, some produced by "Kamerabau Anstalt Vaduz," Liechtenstein, later as "Kilfitt München," (Munich, Germany). His firm created the earliest macro and zoom lens designs, and offered "Kilar" and "Zoomar" lenses in mounts for the Mecaflex, Alpa, Exakta, Pentacon Six, and others (including cine cameras).
