Description:
The Lustreflex (
) are Japanese 6×6 TLR cameras, at least some of
which were made by Lustre.
The Lustreflex is a regular copy of the Rolleicord.
The front plate moves back and forth for focusing.
The focusing and film advance knobs are on the
photographer s right. The name Lustre flex is
inscribed on a stepped nameplate above the front
plate, and there is a Lustre logo above the viewing
hood. The release button is placed at the bottom
of the front standard, on the photographer s right,
and the synch post is buried in the opposite side
of the front plate. It seems that all the models have
an accessory shoe.The later models have a different LustreFlex nameplate (as opposed to Lustre flex), with a serial
number engraved above. They were notably
observed in Western online auctions, and might
have been made for export only. All have Tri-Lausar Anastigmat 8cm f 3.5 lenses in CHY-FB,
Synchro-Super or Synchro-MXV shutters.
