The Tsubasaflex or Tubasaflex[1] is a Japanese 6×6 TLR made in 1951 by the company Kigawa Kōgaku.
It is a simple TLR with a boxy shape and geared lenses for focusing. It is equipped with a loupe and a synchronized shutter. There is an advance knob on the right hand side, and a red window in the back near the bottom, protected by a vertically sliding cover.
It is advertised in March 1951[2] with a Tsubasa 80/3.5 coated lens and T, B, 25, 50, 100, 150 shutter speeds. The name plate is black with a thick chrome frame and Tsubasaflex written in chrome letters.
In advertisements dated May[3] and June[4], the name plate is now written Tubasaflex and JUNIOR in small letters, and the surrounding chrome frame is finer.
Notes
