Eyeflex


The Eyeflex cameras were inspired by the Baby Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex camera for 127 (4x4 cm) film, introducing Automatic Exposure (AE) with shutter priority, simultaneously with the Auto / Auto Eye cameras for 35mm film (see below).
They had a huge selenium cell, and an option to switch from AE to manual exposure. The A model had two 60cm/F3.5 D.Zuiko lenses, the B model had two 60cm/F2.8 D.Zuiko lenses.
Only the A model was introduced to the public, the B model was never put into production. Decline in 4x4 popularity TLRs meant that R&D was stopped.
