Corfield (K.G.) Periflex 1

{"overview":"The Corfield Periflex (1) is a British-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera introduced in 1953 by K.G. Corfield Ltd of Wolverhampton. It uses Leica-compatible 39mm screw-mount lenses and is distinguished by a periscope focusing device that drops behind the lens for through-the-lens focusing, rather than a conventional rangefinder. Cleaner, more complete outfits have historically pushed values toward the upper end of the range.","buying_guide":"Common faults include sluggish or capping focal-plane shutter curtains, stiff focus on the original Lumar lens, and worn or torn leatherette around the body. Inspect the periscope mechanism for smooth operation, check shutter speeds across the range, and confirm the lens is free of haze and fungus.
