Walzflex TLR + Kominar 75mm f/3.5 (Copal-MXV Shutter)
A beautifully built Japanese twin-lens reflex camera – a hidden gem for medium format shooters.

The Walzflex is a 1950s Japanese twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera, offering classic medium format performance in a compact and elegant design. This model features a Kominar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens made by Nitto Kogaku Co., paired with a Copal-MXV leaf shutter, known for reliability and accurate speeds.

Shooting on 6×6 format (120 film), the Walzflex delivers sharp, richly detailed images with the distinctive look of medium format film. Its ground glass focusing system and waist-level finder make for a contemplative shooting experience reminiscent of Rolleiflex-style cameras.
