Peace Baby Flex

Introduction | Baby Flex | Sholy-Flex | Peace Baby Flex | Peace Small Lef

The Peace Baby Flex was introduced in about 1949 and has more than a passing resemblance to the Baby Flex. The folding hood appears to be exactly the same however the name plate is marked with S.P.S and a serial number. This is possibly the smallest TLR (twin lens reflex) camera ever made. This was an inexpensive novelty with a simple mirror arrangement for the top, viewing lens and a tiny Sanko f3.5, 20mm lens for the taking lens. The shutter is two speed and the camera came with a fitted leather case in a cardboard presentation box.

The Sholy-Flex closely mimics the Peace Baby Flex and has S.P.S on the name plate.
