Show off your TLR!

Mamiya C3

Hi,

This is the Mamiya C3 which I bought on eBay with 65mm and 180mm lenses.
I have replaced the light seals and taken the 65mm lens apart as much as I could to clean it, so now it sparkles.

After a 35mm camera I'm enjoying the huge focussing screen. I'm hoping to reduce my high percentage of dissapointing photos by composing more carefully, we'll see. It's certainly slowed me down 🙂

I've been enjoying the TLR forum and will post a picture from the Mamiya when I get a result I like. The first film was dissapointing, but I probably have to take the blame for that myself :-(

My Ansco.....I also have a c220 that is a wonderful sharp brick of a camera.

Not a "full body" shot, but I like my 2.8f! Just bought a Rolleinar 2 and 3 close up lens set. I actually used the Rolleinar 3 with a 35 cron on my M8 for this shot.

Found this TLR at a flea market 2 weeks ago, got it very cheap. So far, it looks like it is in working order. I braved the NYC cold weather today to do my first test shots.

Here is my TLR, a Rolleicord IV. I really love this ole gal, she is as old as I am, but like me she keeps on working.

Another Rolliecord IV, the viewing screen is not as bright as the Yashicas'. I placed a salvaged fresnel lens on the viewing screen and made it a little brighter.

Well, I took this a bit "kitschy" picture in the summer of 2007 when I got the Rolleiflex T in perfect condition, but I like it (I even have it on my VISA card 😛). I have shot 50 rolls of film since. It is my smallest film camera, so I am not sure whter I can call it a "medium format" 😉 I really like using it and people definitely respond better when photographed with TLR than an SLR. But I really do often miss AE so I may go with the new Bessa III if it comes out at reasonable price.

Rolleiflex T was my first Rolleiflex twenty years ago, with its Tessar 75/3.5, I took a number of good photos at those old days. One point that I dislike is the awkward shutter release position make it difficult to stabilise at low shutter speed.

Tele-Rolleiflex with Rolleinar 0.35...

Tele-Rolleiflex uses simple platform as 2.8F and 3.5F, as such the range of physical movement with regard to focusing is the same. This limits the near focus capability and defeat the main purpose people using Tele-Rolleiflex, i.e. portraiture.

In order to take head and shoulder shot, a Rolleinar 0.35 has to be used to extend close focus capability.

Here's a shot of my Rolleicord III and roughly contemporary Zeiss Ikonta folder buddies, together with two recent shots from the Rollei.

I didn't realize how much I've spent during the first 10 rolls, until I did the math and fell fainted to the floor....
