Oh, my, a TLR

[Ezzie]

Thank you. I like it too. I recovered an R-D1 in a slightly lighter shade of green a while back, and thought green on black really does work. From now on, its my colour of preference for black cameras. Next up is a Polaroid 110A when I get round to converting it to 4x5.

Good luck with yours. The Prominar is a Tessar clone, and is very capable.

Congratulations indeed

I´m more than happy with mine, and I have a 2.8E3 to compare it to too.

Mine was a bit rough when I got it.

But a lens and shutter clean, a bit of elbow polish and and new leatherette later and hey presto.

And to think that this is the first camera Kowa ever built, talk about doing your research before taking the leap!

VERY nice looking Kallo...that green is quite elegant!:angel:

I have a question - what's the difference between the image taken with a decent TLR vs an image taken with a Hasselblad, assuming the same film is used? Would it come down to the quality of the lens?

(Putting aside minor issues like parallax.)

Yep as far as the picture is concerned the lens is the only difference.:dance:

The one camera that I will never sell is my Minolta Autocord!

I just got mine back from Karl Bryan, and I couldn't agree more! I may sell my Rolleicord Vb as I prefer the way the Minolta handles, and I really like what the lens does. Magic,

Yes, we can see the magic in your avatar! 😀
