Corfield Periflex

Corfield Periflex 1
1953 Periflex 1 with black leathercloth

The Periflex 35mm camera range was launched by K. G. Corfield Ltd, England in May 1953 with the "Periflex 1" . Subsequent models used the same general form and layout with improvements to the viewfinder design and surface finishes. The camera resembles the Leica Standard and qualify as a Leica copy. However, film loading is by way of a removable back. Focusing is provided through the lens using an inverted periscope lowered into the light path between the lens and the film allowing a small section of the full image to be viewed. The Periflex became quite popular in Britain and several improved models were introduced until their demise in the early 1960s.
