Show off your TLR!

[Richard G]

I have some pics from the Rollei factory in my flickr stream. They were probably taken in the early fifties. I'll remove them shortly so download before they're gone if you are interested. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sverkerahrent/8003810622/in/photostream

Thanks for this wonderful series of factory shots, which are great industrial photographs for anyone, let alone a new owner of a 3.5A/MX.

What kind of hood do you use here? Is it plastic?
Thanks!

Some will say I'm mad for doing this...

What, using a strobe?

Or that standard bracket. The Yashicamat has no lock on the door release, so I bought a TLR bracket for it (for too much money on eBay). I did not realize it was going to put the strobe so far out to the side. I though I would be able to adjust it so I could hold the strobe and fiddle the focus with my finger tips, but even if I could adjust the bracket the Honeywell/Rollei mount would still push it too far out for that.

I wonder if I could just screw the mounting plate directly on the side of the camera? No wonder old-time wedding photographers preferred the Minolta Autocord that could be operated with just the right hand over the Rolleiflex and Yashicamat.

Recently sold, my former C330. But someday I will buy another one. Really lovely camera-tank.

The most beautiful one I had:

Yashica-24 , on Flickr
Unfortunately sold again.

The Yashi-24 with a little relative:

And the latest one, built with my dad.

The more I look at these photos, the more I'd like to buy one again.
Now, that I have found a great lab that also develops medium format well, I guess I will keep my eyes open on the next camera fair.

Looking spiffy in her new Grip-tac skin from cameraleather.com is Minolta Autocord #164083. Not bad for a 53-year-old!

In addition to installing the new skin, I removed the ground glass and field lens and cleaned them and the mirror, resulting in a much brighter view. The glass is clean and clear, and the shutter speeds sound right to my experienced ear. I've put one roll of Portra through her, which I just sent out yesterday.

Now, I'm only missing the little Minolta insignia from the front of the hood. If anyone has one on a junker Autocord that they would be willing to part with, let me know.

By the way, I received excellent service from Camera Leather. My order was acknowledged immediately and received within a week.
