Biographical / Historical
The Kodak Duaflex is a 620 roll film pseudo TLR made by Kodak in the US and UK. On the market from 1950 – 1954, the Kodak Duaflex II came in two different models – a Kodet fixed focus lens and a Kodar triple lens.
The various Duaflexes had aluminum alloy bodies and were available with either a simple fixed focus 75mm f/15 Kodet lens, or with 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 speeds of "I" and "B", and was synched for use with a Kodalite Flasholder.
