Gadget News | Apps Gadgets Frankly, any of the Rolleiflex medium format film cameras would do. They all look stunning and actually very similar as well. That’s all down to the TLR system. That’s Twin Lens Reflex rather Single Lens Reflex. The idea is that both objective lenses on the front of the camera view the same scene at the same focus which is why the two are connected. One is for the actual picture taking and the other to send the image of the scene back into the camera and onto a mirror set at 45 degrees so that you can see what’s going on as you look straight down on top of it. Make sense? No? Doesn't matter. They just look great.
You’re supposed to shoot from the hip - or the waist, at least - and wind the film on with the handle on the side of the machine. Basically, you get to feel all Austin Powers as you leap about snapping through frames like there’s no tomorrow. You can still pick up a Rolleiflex 3.5 at the usual places and you don’t quite have to spend the earth to get one either. What it will cost you is bags and bags in film and processing. Still, with those Zeiss lenses on the front, it may well be worth it.
