Pros: | small, well made | Cons: | | | Mine is the 3rd version of this body. These bodies touted an instant return mirror. The featured a waist level finder but also had a Galileo viewfinder that is sort of characteristic of these Asahi m37 bodies. This things are relatively small and somewhat similar to the Praktica FX but those lack an instant return mirror and Galileo finder. These m37 Takumar lenses tend to be jewels in themselves.

Pros: | A real Gem | Cons: | Slow to use, Lack of slow speeds | | Just to add to the review. It was marketed as bothe the Tower 23 and Tower 24 in the US. The Tower 23 had the F3.5 lens and the Tower 24 the F2.4 lens.
I have a Towere 23 which has been used as a "donor" camera to fix the other Flex's and the third version of the Towere 24 which is perhaps the least common.
