A Balda Juwella with Juwella-Anastigmat 105mm f 6.3 lens in unbranded three-speed Art Deco-style shutter, which suggests this is probably a 1936 model. Note that the shutter decoration is partially covered by the focus and aperture scale. I haven t removed this cover but I suspect Balda used the same shutter plate for different apertures and lenses, and added these cover plates when needed.

In 1939, the company Optikotechna bought a factory producing photographic equipment in P?erov.[1] Optikotechna initially developed and improved older models (known as Autoflex and Flexette). The development of a new camera called Flexaret started in the post-World War II years in the Meopta company, founded in 1946. The camera was intended rather for amateur photography the handling was easy and technical parameters were simple.[1] The Flexaret rapidly became popular in Czechoslovak households and its popularity lasted until the 1960s. However, the strategy of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance among communist states demanded subordination of national interests to the central planning process dictated by the Soviet Union. The tradition and competition were suppressed by political interests.[1] The last cameras were produced after the 1968 Soviet invasion and in 1970 when the production was cancelled due to lack of parts from East Germany, after which the brand was replaced by the inferior Soviet Lubitel camera line.[1] The Czech photographer Jan Saudek called Flexaret our [Czech] national pride .[ This camera was purchased during RAF trips to India on the 14th to 21st of December 2023
