Want to Buy WTB: Koniflex TLR

Trask · Sep 18, 2014

The bug has bitten -- I have decided I'd like to try a Koniflex TLR, a later model preferably. I've got Rolleis, Yashicas and a Meopta, so it's time for a Koniflex. So if anyone here on APUG has one they'd like to move on, please drop me a PM with details, perhaps some photos and a notional price -- I'd appreciate it.

If you are looking for Koni-omegaflex then then yes, I have one.

Just sent you a PM. Please check.

Thanks, 3RiC, but I'm looking for the older non-interchangeable lens TLR "Koniflex" -- still looking!

Good luck -- these are rare birds. Would like one myself!

Never seen one of these let alone seen one for sale. Check with Japanese Camera Hunter as I think your best bet is going to be one in some dusty back room in Japan somewhere...

Thanks for the tip, Richard -- the camera is now being hunted in Japan, but I've been warned not to hold my breath. So if anyone else happens to have the trail of a Koniflex, please let me know.

BUMP (maybe the capitalization will help)

starting to sound pathetic with those bumps, big guy. Here's a mercy comment...

Trask · Nov 26, 2014

Well, thanks -- I live in hope. And it pays off sometimes: a nice Minolta Autocord was just delivered, a camera I've always wanted to try out --and the Zamac focusing lever is intact, which is a big plus!

bump -- still looking for a koniflex

Maybe I'll find a seller in 2015!

A month later, another bump. I wonder what the length-of-time record is for bumping a WTB?

It's always a bumpy road to attain our goals.

Trask · Feb 23, 2015

Thank you, Rick A. Every reply I receive is like cool water on my GAS-fever'd brow.

One sold on eBay 1/20/2015 for $256. Where were you?

I've always seen top level Japanese 6x6 TLRs as much the same. Why would you rather have a Koniflex than one of the others, e.g., Kalloflex or Topcoflex? "Because I do" is a perfectly fine answer.

I had one many years back... Typical good Konica glass and nicely made. Sold long ago, sadly. Best wishes on your hunt!

bump -- sorry to hear I missed one on eBay. My bad.
