‘Kenneth George Corfield was born in January 1924 in Walsall. With the help of brother John he started making Lumimeters in the family loft during 1948, but by early 1953 K G Corfield Ltd had a factory in Wolverhampton and a range of products including the famous PERIFLEX 35mm camera while also being the British Agent for Exakta cameras. A move to a new much larger factory in Northern Ireland in 1958 was a success, but within 2 years Japanese cameras had started to flood into the country at very low prices and this eventually ended volume camera production in Western Europe.

Despite this highly successful career, he retained interest and involvement in matters photographic, holding the Linhof agency, taking over the production of Gandolfi cameras as the brothers became too old and making for over 10 years a professional Architectural camera, the Corfield WA67 derived from a camera he had made for his own use.
