Chinon · Japan · 1968 · 135 film

The Prinzflex Super TTL is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera introduced by Chinon in 1968. Positioned as an affordable entry-level model, it offers basic manual photography functions typical of SLRs from this period, including aperture-priority exposure control indicated by a through-the-lens (TTL) meter and a standard 42mm screw lens mount. Designed for budget-conscious photographers and hobbyists, its construction focuses on functionality rather than premium materials or sophisticated engineering, reflecting Chinon's strategy in the competitive consumer camera market of the late 1960s.
