Lot Essay

The Biflex used standard 35mm. film but produced 200 11 x 11mm. exposed frames. White (p. 45) suggests that around 500 only were manufactured around 1950. The camera was part of a system with projector and cutter but these accessories appear to survive in much smaller numbers than the camera.
