Rare Vintage Showa Optical Works MIOJ Gemflex Subminiature TLR Camera
This tiny camera is in parts or not working condition and is best used for display only. It is missing some leatherette and what is there is peeling and lifting in some spots. The shade on top needs a little encouragement to open all the way, and the viewfinder is very dusty. That said, it is a joy to look down into this tiny viewfinder and see the world through it. The lens unit seems loose and can be jiggled side to side. When held in the right position (turned all the way clockwise), the shutter can be fired at all speeds. The aperture control also works. The pegs on the bottom are a bit bent so the camera doesn’t sit perfectly flat. Still a fun example of a fantastic price of 1950s Japanese design and something I’ll miss when it sells.

VINTAGE GEMFLEX SUBMINIATURE FILM CAMERA, case and 2 boxes of film
VINTAGE GEMFLEX SUBMINIATURE FILM CAMERA, case and 2 boxes of film. This camera is of a fine example of its type. Slight markings on the leather case and some slight lifting on the corners of the leather on the top of the camera itself. Shutter works and film. There is currently a roll of film in the camera. It runs on a 10 exposure roll of 14 mm film. You get two partial boxes of film with it. The film is wrapped in foil. There is no date on the film and the boxes look to date to the early 50s when the camera was produced so don’t expect the film to be useable. Please see ALL the pictures for proper representation of condition. If you have any questions or need more pictures please contact me. I added a couple pictures best I can of the lenses. I can’t tell if there is damage to them or just dirty. I do t own anything I would trust to clean them without damaging it. The shutter speed dial moves can’t tell if it’s accurate. Shutter cocking arm works and shutter release arm work. Film advance knob work and so does the film release knob.
