This is my first ever TLR, a Rolleiflex Automat Type 4. Just got it and started on the first film. It is a joy to use, will be exiting to see the pictures..
After too many months of start and stop progress, I finally had some time to collate the lenses and adjust the shutter speed dial friction.
Replaced the original leather with cameraleather kidskin. It is not the most beautiful camera, but it is really smooth and accurate right now.
I even made the strap myself- and added the yellow frame counter window.
Now I need to throw my first two rolls into the soup and see how I did with the lens adjusting.

Sorry for the large amount of pictures. I am pretty excited to finally be able to use this camera.
I got my hands on my boss' FLEXARET TLR and took it home and shot a roll of film with it. I was VERY impressed by the results. I may have to look for one for myself since he wont part with it...
Mamiyaflex C2 and a couple test shots taken with it, finally. They weren't scanned as I don't have a scanner yet. The negs were photographed sloppily with my dslr, so the quality and resolution is minimal.
Admittedly, I've got a lot to learn about how to use this TLR.
But I'm just so happy the images came out at all because when I got this Mamiyaflex the bellows had 27 major holes in it, some big enough to stick my finger through.
Oh, and these shots were my first ever attempt at home brewing as well... D76 and ACROS Neopan 100
