FLEXARET AUTOMAT VI

The Flexaret twin lens reflex cameras are a product of the Czechoslovakian company

Meopta (manufacturers of enlarging equipment). The Flexaret Automat VI was in

production from 1961-1967. This camera is a multiformat camera, 6x6 and 35 mm.

The picture shows the 35 mm insert,

35mm film cartridge adapters and

take up spool required to

accommodate 35mm film. The

insert goes into the film chamber.

The 35mm film goes under the shiny

small rollers and over the small

brown rollers on the frame spacing

control roller. This is how the

camera knows that the spacing needs

to be for 35mm film vs. 120 film. If

the camera shutter is cocked without film in the camera, the film counter reset lever needs

to be held down while rotating the frame spacing control roller until a number 1 – 12

shows in the frame counter window, then the shutter button can be pressed. When the

end of the 35mm cartridge is reached, the center button of the film wind knob is

depressed (and held) while the film spool knob on the lower left of the camera is turned

clockwise to rewind the film back into the 35mm cartridge.
