The Reflekta is a continuation of the Reflecta by Kamera-Werk Tharandt. The model name was spelled with a "k" from 1949 onwards. The Reflekta II is a version with double exposure prevention.
The production of the Reflekta and Reflekta II was taken over in 1950 by VEB Welta-Kamera-Werk, a merger of Welta and Kamera-Werk Tharandt.
The Reflekta was replaced by the Weltaflex in the mid-1950s.
Contents
Description and specs of the Reflekta II
Focusing is done by a lever under the taking lens. The framecounter is a small red window on the back of the camera. The viewfinder is rather dim.
Four 75/3.5 lenses are reported: the Triotar and Trioplan by Meyer, the Meritar by Ludwig and the Pololyt by ROW. Similarly, four different shutters are known on this camera; Cludor (B, 1–1/200s), Junior and Vebur (B, 1–1/250s), Prontor-SV (B, 1–1/300s). It uses 120 film.
Name variants
The Flektar is an export version sold by Peerless.[1] The Superflex is another export version sold by Penn.[2]
