ian_gordon_bilson Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 <p>If I aspired to a fixed-lens TLR,the Kalloflex would be the one. All said and done,when the negs have been admired on the lightbox, one could turn and look at the camera,and think-that's one handsome hunk of design.<br> That is it,really -like a classic car,it just looks so good,even parked.<br> Mind,an old friend just returned from a trip to Europe,and a visit to the Schlumph Bugatti Museum,and a run on the Nurburgring.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eirik_russell_roberts Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Very nice Tony. They are quite rare, even more so in that condition. Mine is nowhere near as nice. I would hesistate ro compare them to Rolleiflexes however. Though extremely well built, they feel rougher. May of course be down to my example being not of the better kept. But fit and finish is not quite on par. But what is, really? What I really like is the cocentric wind and focusing arrangement. No need to swap hands to wind and then focus. And of course the Prominar lens, a Tessar formula, is not half bad. Kowa optics were (and still are - look up their scopes) very good, the one redeeming quality of my Kowa Super 66 system, where all else seems to be going bust.
