The Minolta Miniflex was a 4×4 TLR made by Minolta in 1959. It appeared two years after the Rolleiflex Baby Grey, during the short revival of 127 film for the square format superslides. The same year Olympus announced the Eye Flex, that never reached the production stage.
The Miniflex has an advance knob at the left and a big focusing wheel at the right. There are two accessory shoes, one on each side. The finish is blueish grey in two tones, with matching leather covering.
The Miniflex is equipped with a Rokkor 60/3.5 taking lens, a Rokkor 60/2.8 viewing lens and a shutter to 1/500.
It was probably sold for a short time, because today it is quite rare. The common belief is that the production did not exceed 5000.
