Show off your TLR!

Well, we can't all be Rolleiflexes...
Ensign Ful-Vue.

Okay, I confess to Ful-Vue lust. I want one!

The Ful-Vue is sweet. You feel tempted to say: "Eat your porridge, my dear, and some day you'll be a grown Rolleiflex, too!" 🙂

Ditto. Got any photos from the Ful-Vue you would like to share?

 

[Vince Lupo]

Really beautiful indeed. Is it used sometimes, or does it stay in its case ?

Sorry for the delay in replying. Oh yes, it sure does get used -- I actually took it to Vienna in December, and picked up that 85/2 lens from Leicashop.

It is a great camera - my favourite, in fact - and it is truly a joy to use.

Here is the Contaflex TLR thread I started. I think I need to add some more photos to this thread!

Happy to know that. I prefer to use than to collect, even when the gear is so beautiful. 😉

Gakkenflex 35mm Twin Lens Reflex

Gakkenflex 35mm Twin Lens Reflex

The little 35mm Gakkenflex TLR is between my 120 Ricoh Diacord and Canon P. The GakkenFlex came as a kit in a Japananese magazine. The magazine, Otona No Kagaku, means Science for adults and is published by Gakken. Each issue explores a subject with a kit you can make. Issue 25 was photography and the twin lens reflex with one you could build yourself. It's classified as a toy camera since it has a plastic lens with wonderful aberrations but it is incredibly well thought out. What makes this unique in toy cameras is that it can be focused just like it's big brother. It has one shutter speed and f stop which is around 1/150 sec at f11. It's a hoot!

Yeah, the Ful-Vue is cool! Please post some pics from it, I'm interested to see what kind of character it has.

They should all be for shooting not collecting if that means just admiring but not using them. I was given the Rolleiflex on two conditions:
1) Get it CLA'd
2) Use it!

Wonderful gift, but even better conditions / advice! 🙂

Thank you! It arrived today. I spent some time cleaning but so far so good. The first Ilford FP4 is on, we will see!

Sweet! Can't wait to see the results.

I will be able to join this thread.

This thread is dangerous- with all those Flexarets and the Ful Vue abd the Contaflex- too much to consider.

This is what my TLR looks like today- after lot and lots of cleaning and re-finishing. Hopefully she will be up and running soon.

Matt, you are a brave soul. Kids, don't try this one at home.

Early Rolleiflex T. I'm used to DOF scales in metres not feet, takes some getting used to.
