What it is
{"overview":"The Corfield Periflex is a British 35mm camera produced by K.G. Corfield Ltd from the mid-1950s. It is distinguished by an unusual periscope-style reflex focusing mechanism that drops a small mirror into the light path for ground-glass focusing, rather than using a conventional rangefinder or pentaprism. Condition, completeness, and a working focusing periscope are the main drivers of value.","buying_guide":"Common faults to inspect include seized or bent focusing periscopes, sticky shutter speeds, pinholes in the cloth focal-plane shutter, and corroded baseplate fittings. Check that the drop-down mirror mechanism operates smoothly and that the viewfinder optics are clear, as spare parts and professional servicing for Corfield cameras are scarce.

Questions
Is the Corfield Periflex a good user camera?
It can be, provided the periscope focusing mechanism and shutter are working correctly; its L39 screw mount also accepts a wide range of Leica-thread lenses, which adds to its practical value.
Why is the price range so wide?
Price depends heavily on which Periflex variant is offered, whether the original Lumar or Lumax lens and leather case are included, and whether the focusing periscope and shutter are fully functional.
