The '''Splendidflex''' was a "double-lens reflex camera" - a [[pseudo TLR]] - with f8 lens and a shutter for speed 1/50 sec. or bulb mode. It took square images on [[127 film]].  It is very similar to the [[Bedfordflex]], Stellarflex and the Roskoflex.

The Splendidflex was advertised as a "double-lens reflex camera," but it is simply a pseudo TLR for 4×4 cm square images on 127 film. The "focus" (fixed focus) lens is f/8, and the shutter offers 1/50 sec. or bulb mode. The Roskoflex is a name variant (perhaps sold by Rosko), and it seems to be the same camera as to the Bedfordflex, and Stellarflex.
