Beautyflex D

The Beautyflex are a series of Japanese 6×6 TLR cameras made by Taiyōdō Kōki, later Beauty Camera. There were quite a number of different models produced. There is a big difference in the focusing system between early Beautyflexes and the later ones. Early ones have front lens cell focusing with gear coupled taking and viewing lenses. The later ones have the traditional lens board movement focusing. This camera was sold in 1955 and it produces images using 120 film in a 6x6 format. It has a Tri-Lausar 3.5/80 mm lens in a Taiyodo Koki Synchro-MX shutter, with a maximum shutter speed of 1/300.
