There is also the 1955 Pentaflex SLR by Tokiwa Seiki.

The Pentaflex SL is a 35mm film SLR camera introduced by KW in 1967. It uses an M42 lens mount.

It is a fully mechanical camera requiring no batteries. It has a cloth shutter with speeds of 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250 and 1/500 plus a bulb mode. The shutter release is located on the front of the body and is compatible with common cable releases. A locking feature on the collar prevents accidental exposure during transport. McKeown says this camera is the same as the Praktica Nova.[1]
