Item description from seller

The Ciro-flex was a series of 6x6 TLRs made by the American manufacturer Ciro beginning circa 1941. All share a strong resemblance, with uncoupled red window film advance and Wollensak lenses & shutters. By using a slightly longer-than-normal 85mm focal length, sharpness in the corners of the 2¼×2¼-inch image remained adequate even with a less-expensive triplet lens design. The earliest model A's were built in Detroit, Michigan; and "ciro-flex" appears uncapitalized on the nameplate. Post-WWII production resumed with the models B ( with an Alphax shutter) and C (Rapax shutter). By 1947 the company had relocated to Delaware, Ohio. While text explains operations and effects possible with the Ciro-flex cameras, basic framing and action shot techniques are also emphasized. Last page has a trouble-shooting guide. Bruce Downes (1899-1966), was an American editor, writer, critic, photographer. Associate, photography editor Collier’s magazine, 1948-1949. Eastern editor Popular Photography, 1943-1947, editor, public, 1951-1964, editorial chairman, 1964-1966. American specialist cultural exchange program Department of State. He died while in Korea, 1966. Carefully stored glossy magazine in high gloss wraps has few indents and no creases from storage. Single reading crease in spine with corners taped for stability. Interior is tight, clean and unmarked. No ownership marks. Copyright 1950. Printed in U.S.A. No edition nor printrun specifics found. No ISBN, LCCN nor MSR.
