The Ontoflex camera was manufactured by Cornu Company of Paris, France in circa 1933. The Ontoflex was a twin lens reflex camera cable of capturing 6 x 9 cm exposures in standard no. 620 roll film. The camera was constructed of metal finished with black enamel or covered in leather. It featured a rotating back for landscape or portrait pictures. The original mode was adaptable to both roll film and plates and the later version only accommodating roll film.
