A pseudo TLR is a camera imitating the shape of a TLR, but with no coupling of the taking and viewing lens. The finder is not a true reflex finder with a ground glass indicating the focus, but an oversized brilliant finder. It is a camera with guess focusing, or fixed-focus.
The pseudo TLR vogue was around the 1950s and 1960s, when the Rolleiflex was the typical pro camera. They were produced by many manufacturers in the US (Kodak_Duaflex , Germany (most Voigtländer Brillant models), France (eg Olbia), and the United Kingdom (Ensign Ful-vue).
Later, the pseudo SLR toy cameras used the same kind of trick, but were usually worse.
