The Makiflex is a 9x9 cm, interchangeable lens SLR camera made by Plaubel in 1961.[1][2] Schnider Xenarlenses are available including a 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 roll film, sheet film as well as instant film backs. Waist level and eye level finder 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]
