The Prince Flex, was the first Japanese TLR in 1937, before the Minoltaflex. It was made by Neumann & Heilemann and sold by the Fukada Shōkai (深田商会) company, according to this page at yume_camera. Some other sources give Fujimoto Seisakusho (藤本製作所) as the maker of the Prince Flex, probably because they relate the Prince name with Fujimoto. This is discussed in detail in the Prince page.
The Prince Flex looked a little like the first Ikoflex "coffee can" model. It had a 75/4.5 Neotar lens and a Neumann & Heilemann Perfekt shutter T-B-1-300. The focusing was by a lever on the front plate, acting on a helical that moved the lens plate back and front. The advance was by knob and red window.
This camera has nothing to see with the later Princeflex camera made by Toyo Seiki.
