How about those TLR's?


Recommended Posts

<p>I own neither a Praktica nor a Nikon F3/F3HP which seem to be very popular as of late, but I have been out shooting with my Canon FD gear and my Rolleiflex. So take those TLR's (any brand will do) off the shelf, dust them off and lets see what you've got!</p><div>00Wspo-261007584.jpg.6bcd8a834ad948368079e5dfa120455b.jpg</div>

<p>Handsome camera and vivid pictures. Reminds me of my younger days when we used to go camping in Jungles here. Of course, you have as many poisonous creatures as we do. My wife used to work in Brisbane at Redcliffe and in Alice springs. Has treated a lot of poison bite victims. Please do post more; I like the 120 format TLRs. But the film in that format is not sold here anymore. Thanks for the post, sp.</p>

<p>Here's one with a Yashica D. I had cut some cold-stored Super XX down to size just to see what it would do. (BTW, I don't normally cut sheet film down for a TLR, but I happened to run out of 120 that week). Most of my Super XX is reserved for my Crown Graphic.</p><div>00WsxP-261083584.jpg.c56db3743d3f0bc2485134bb8a1a6224.jpg</div>

<p>It has been a couple of months since I aired out a TLR, but I'm not ashamed to dredge up and scan an old neg from them. This is with an Ikoflex Ia in April at the abandoned asylum in Central Islip, NY.</p>

<p>I've been using the same model Rollei since I bought it used, for $125, in 1962 or 3. It's my favorite camera and I use it for most of my work. Here's a photograph from last Fall, of a Vermont marble quarry. I tried to match the negative scan to my real (i.e. wet darkroom) print, but it's not quite as good.<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4244790000_0e3b4d3141_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>

Wow! I love your long grass Roger, your forest Matt, and your Colorado Dave. Though it seems unfair to single out those images because the others are great too. Yet again we get to see some of the better work on PN just by calling out a type of camera. It almost isn't fair.
