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]].

The '''Splendidflex''' was advertised as a "double-lens reflex camera," but it is simply a [[pseudo TLR]] for 4&times;4 cm square images on [[127 film]]. The "focus lens"  (actually [[fixed focus]]) 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]], [[Bedfordflex|Wonderflex]], Randorflex and Stellarflex.

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 lens" (actually fixed focus) 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, Wonderflex, Randorflex and Stellarflex.
