Rectaflex

Rectaflex was the world's first series produced Pentaprism single lens reflex camera. It was produced from 1948 to 1958. Rectaflex was the only Italian single-lens reflex camera ever built.[1]

There has been some uncertainty about the Rectaflex being first or second pentaprism SLR to be produced. Marco Antonettos very thorough research in 2002 clarified that the Rectaflex was the first.
