The '''postwar Starflex''' is a Japanese 6×6 [[TLR]], only known from a couple of surviving examples. It looks similar to other [[TLR]] cameras made by [[Tougodo]], like the [[Toyocaflex]], of which it was perhaps a rebadged variant. It has an unnamed shutter (B, 1–300), a Tri-Lausar Anastigmat 8cm f/3.5 taking lens and a Tri-Lausar Viewer 8cm f/3.5 viewing lens. The name ''STARFLEX'' is written on the nameplate in capital letters.

The postwar Starflex is a Japanese 6×6 TLR, only known from a couple of surviving examples. It looks similar to other TLR cameras made by Tougodo, like the Toyocaflex, of which it was perhaps a rebadged variant. It has an unnamed shutter (B, 1–300), a Tri-Lausar Anastigmat 8cm f/3.5 taking lens and a Tri-Lausar Viewer 8cm f/3.5 viewing lens. The name STARFLEX is written on the nameplate in capital letters.
