Description:
This twin lens box has been built
during the mid fifties in Bombay (India) by the
company Ace Camera Equips. PVT LTD. It looks like
the Anscoflex II manufactured by Ansco and
shown here .
We may suppose that this company purchased
the manufacturing license from Ansco at the time
the production of the Anscoflex II ceased.
Surprisingly, the copy was more enhanced than
the original. The Sure Flex offered on its front face
one selector on each side of the taking lens. The
first one for selecting between two diaphragm
stops and the other one for choosing between
two shutter speeds.
These selectors did not exist on the Anscoflex II.
This camera is in very poor state. Decades of exposure to warm and humid environment damaged
it. It has been found on a shelf of a small shop in
Chennai on the South-east coast of the country.
