The Photoman Special Reflex (フオトマンスペシャルレフレックス) is a large format SLR sold in Japan in 1925. It is briefly mentioned in an advertisement for the Speed Reflex placed by Saneidō in the September 1925 issue of Asahi Camera, where the price is given as ¥125.[1] It is unclear if the camera is related to the Speed Reflex or not, and if the camera was made in Japan or was an imported model. No other mention of the Photoman Special Reflex has been found so far.
