Lipca Flexo 120 twin-lens reflex camera, produced in Germany in the 1950s, in good overall condition and mechanically tested and functioning.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction: a classic, compact and iconic 120 Biottica twin-lens reflex camera, the Flexo, produced in Germany at Lipca’s historic Barntrup facilities starting in the 1950s.

The lot is presented in generally good condition and is mechanically functional.

Optics: The original lens is structurally sound. For maximum accuracy, there is a widespread and normal vintage patina due to age, entirely typical for a piece from this era.

Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is mechanically functional. The central mechanical shutter responds promptly to the shutter release and the side moving mechanisms are operational. For full disclosure, note that the small upper hatch of the waist-level viewfinder on the right side remains slightly closed when opened, a small vintage mechanical detail irrelevant to pure collecting purposes.

Aesthetics: Camera body conditions are good, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid and robust construction preserves a strong visual impact, displaying its original two-tone satin-silver and black finish, free of structural dents, with normal signs of use.

Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
