Tougodo Skyflex Kinoflex Prontor Shutter 6x6 Medium Format TLR Twin Lens Camera

The Tougodo Skyflex Kinoflex is a rare and fascinating twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera that's sure to pique the interest of collectors and enthusiasts alike. Manufactured in Japan in the 1950s, this camera represents a unique blend of design elements and features that set it apart from more common TLRs of the era.

As noted on TLR-Cameras.com, the Skyflex Kinoflex is believed to have been manufactured by Tougodo, a Japanese company that produced a variety of cameras and optical equipment. This particular model is distinguished by its unique film advance mechanism, which uses a knob wind instead of the more common crank wind found on most TLRs. It also features a Prontor shutter, known for its reliability and accuracy. This camera is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Japanese camera makers during the post-war period. It's a rare find that offers a glimpse into a lesser-known corner of photographic history.
