Thorsten Pöllath

This Nikkenflex twin-lens reflex camera, produced by Nippon Koken Camera Works, is a classic example of early Japanese camera manufacturing from the Showa period. Featuring a distinctive retro design, this TLR camera embodies the mechanical charm and craftsmanship of mid-20th century photography.

The camera retains its original leather carrying case, which shows significant aging and wear, adding to its authentic vintage character. The body exhibits noticeable signs of use, including scratches, surface wear, and accumulated dirt. The internal viewing screen and lenses show dust and age-related deterioration.

As the operational status has not been tested, this item is being sold as a “junk” item, suitable for collectors, display, or restoration purposes rather than immediate use.

This lot includes the camera and its original leather case only.
