The Makiflex is a 9x9 cm, interchangeable lens SLR camera made by Plaubel in 1961.[1][2] Zeiss lenses are available as well as Schneider Xenar lenses in 150mm, 210mm and 360mm. It has a focal-plane shutter with speeds 4 - 1/400 second, plus 'B'. It has rack-and-pinion bellows focusing. It uses a rotating back plate that can mount backs for roll film, sheet film and instant film. Waist-level and eye-level finders are available.
A simplified model, the Makiflex Standard was made a few years later; this model has fewer slow shutter speeds, and does not stop down the lens automatically.[3]
