Description
The Kodak Duaflex is a 620-roll film pseudo-TLR made by Kodak in the US, Canada, and UK. The original versions were available from December 1947 – September 1950 in the US and 1949-1955 in the UK.
The various Duaflexes had aluminium alloy bodies and were available with either a simple fixed focus 75mm f/15 Kodet lens or a 72mm f/8 Kodar triplet lens in a front-element focusing (to 3.5 ft.) mount. The Kodar lens had Waterhouse stops of f/8, 11, and 16. The shutter had “I” and “B” speeds and was synched with a Kodalite Flasholder.
Duaflex II had a dedicated Duaflex Flasholder, synchronized for SM and SF bulbs when the camera was set on “I”. No. 5 and No. 25 bulbs could be used, but the “B” setting was required for those types. Later models (Duaflex III and IV) were modified to accept the aforementioned Kodalite Flasholder, also used on the Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model and other Kodak models.
