Revue 6x6 (SeaGull 4A103A), HAIOU SA-85 1:35/75mm, Fomapan 100 Classic (120) Rodinal 1:50 9 min.​

Before buying this camera, I spent a lot of time reading reviews online. Lots of bad reviews. They talked about the camera's unreliability and the very poor image quality of the three-element lens. Well, I bought it!
Result: the camera's shutter didn't work. But I simply unscrewed the front part of the lens and cleaned the shutter blades with gasoline. And lo and behold! The shutter worked perfectly. Then I cleaned the lens itself. It had a slight haze from age. And you know what? I got stunning sharpness. The film advance mechanism works perfectly. The distance between the negatives is perfect!
Conclusion: don't rush to criticize what can be improved. You just need to think carefully about how to do it.
I got the perfect camera for a ridiculously low price, which is in no way inferior to much more expensive cameras from famous brands! Happy photography, everyone!
