What it is
{"overview":"The Kowa Kalloflex is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera using 120 roll film, produced by the Japanese maker Kowa Optical. Because hammer prices reflect wholesale conditions rather than dealer retail, clean working examples may sell for more privately, while bodies with shutter or focus faults typically sell for less.","buying_guide":"As with most vintage TLRs, inspection should focus on the leaf shutter (listen for sticky slow speeds), taking and viewing lens clarity (haze, fungus, separation), the focus mechanism, and the condition of the film transport and ground glass.
