I wanted to know what you guys think about this camera, I recently purchased this camera and have not yet developed the first roll. Compared to my 35mm I know that this 6X6 can take some great portraits, arquitechture, and landscapes. has enyone used this camera or this format before? do you guys have some tips?

I had an ancient Yashica TLR once. I loved the clarity of the viewfinder. It produced prints with wonderful details and very subtle tonal graduations. I also enjoyed the slower contemplative pace that these cameras encourage you to use. I suggest you use a digicam’s histogram to check exposures with before you expose your film.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

I have one ,I kept it for the memories and looks great on a shelf . It is a good camera it uses great optics and is easy to use. It is hard to find filters for it.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.
