See also the Minoltaflex Automat and the postwar Minoltaflex II and III.
The Minoltaflex (later termed the Minoltaflex I) is a TLR (twin lens reflex) camera for 120 film made by Chiyoda Kōgaku (later Minolta) and introduced in December 1937. It has unit focusing, and protection against double exposure.
The (silver) nameplate is simply marked Minolta.[1] The camera has a Compur or a Crown II shutter (T, B, 1–300) and a Promar 7.5cm f/3.5 taking lens.

Notes
- ↑ Like the Minoltaflex Automat, it is referred to in advertising as ミノルタフレックス (Minorutafurekkusu), obviously a compound of "Minolta" and "flex". The decision whether to refer to this as "Minoltaflex" or "Minolta Flex" — one word or two — is rather arbitrary.
