The Pentaflex SL is a 35mm film SLR camera by KW and introduced in 1967. It uses a M42 lens mount.

It is a fully mechanical camera requiring no batteries. It's cloth based shutter and has speeds of 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250 and 1/500 plus a bulb mode. The shutter release is located on the front of the body and is compatible with common cable releases. There is locking feature on the collar that prevents accidental exposure during transport. McKeown says it is the same as the Praktica Nova.[1]
