Show off your TLR!

[Tincup]

Really enjoy my 1958 Rolleiflex T that I have had since the 1990’s. Just put a roll of film thru it last week.

My old Minolta Autocord

How have I not seen this thread...
A friend gave me the two lenses so therefore I was forced to buy the TLR body...

My favorite TLRs are the Minolta Autocord and the Mamiya C330f (though I admire all Mamiya models). I have ten TLRs, but these are my favorites.

Mamiya appears to have taken more inspiration from LF view cameras than from Rollei in the design of their TLRs. I think they're brilliant!

Every so often I do get tempted by a Rolleiflex but I got some accessories today and well, this is when my temptation usually goes away. My Rolleicord III setup.

Minolta Autocord LMX. Long story short-the camera now has new leather, new focus lever, and a CLA by Karl Bryan. And the meter works after Karl fixed that too.

I have the LMX version of this TLR. IT's very good.

Have the same camera. my meter works but not sure it is worthy of using. Did Karl Bryan revive a dead meter for you or just made some adjustments?

that's getting close to porn.

He wrote he re-soldered a wire. I haven’t tested the meter extensively since I usually shoot sunny 16 and do well that way. But it does work.

No, it is porn!

I recently repaired a Mentor Mentorett from 1937. It is sitting here beside a Beautyflex. It’s quite an unusual TLR with a focal plane shutter and aperture blades both the taking and viewing lens.

I took a few photos of the internal mechanisms in a blog post I made:

GEMFLEX & Rolleiflex Old Standard.

I am almost sure that this tiny GEMFLEX is a working TLR, just that I haven't figure out how to load film in it 😊

Today I bought Rolleiflex 2.8F (12/24) version. Only 790 EUR. The bad: self timer switch missing. No lens cap. Focusing screen has some scratches. The good - lenses are very clean. Shutter speeds sound accurate (even the slow ones). Original strap. I'll probably shoot a test roll and decide if it needs a CLA or I can wait for it. The last time it was serviced on 12-11-79 by "Rollei of America service department" (sticker inside) 🙂

1979? It will need one especially to fix the timer and screen. Still a decent price. Enjoy!

I can live without the self timer, I have an external one. And the screen is not so bad, but I might want to buy a new one.

check to see if the lens panel is fully parallel to the body around it. if not, pix out of focus....which i experienced with a used Rollei. Put a roll of film through before you have it serviced, which you should do, so you know what to describe.
