 The Mecaflex is a rare and unusual camera, made in 1953. It took 50 exposures, 24x24mm, on a standard 36-exposure length of 35mm film, the only 35mm SLR to use this square format. The camera was designed by Heinz Kilfitt who produced the lenses. The bodies were initially made by Metz in Germany, but later, in 1958, when the deal with Metz went sour, the bodies were made by SEROA in Monacco, France. A few of these were produced in a rare brown lizard skin covering. The standard lens was a 40mm f/2.8 Kilar, but there was also a now super-rare 105mm f/4 Tele-Kilar, seen here on the lizard skin model. Extension tubes were also available, as well as a now super-rare eye-level viewfinder attachment. |
