A Twin Lens Reflex camera made in Czechoslovakia around 1966.
A nice TLR. Quite sharp when stopped down a bit. Meopta made 60 375 items of the Flexaret VI between 1961 and 1968 (from serial 26156 to 86513). A classic workhorse of the Czechoslovakian press and photographer studios. I guess we owe it to the Flexaret that the dramatic events in Prague 1968 was so well documented. Using a special kit, the camera can also be converted from medium format to 135-film.
