Great to hear that it really works. I have just ordered the same camera on e-bay after looking for a really nice one I think it will be fun. Thanks

All I can find is that there is one for sale in the USA at $64. It isn't mentioned much on the internet but is a 6cmX6cm TLR camera, and you'll see what I have at:-

Now is this the same thing I ask myself? Apparently "START" is written "CTAPT" in russian, so I found this but that is about a 35mm. Might be the same make though, and would be curious if it wasn't.

I should mention that almost any working twin lens reflex camera will do. We used some Richoflex cameras (not sure of the spelling) that were sold in the Army PX back in the 1950's. We did not have light meters and would simply guess at the settings. The 120 B&W film was very forgiving even for indoor available light photograhy and most of the time we got fair to good results. If a person were to scan and edit these basiclly to get rid of the noise and increase contrast they could print up well.

You can use your digicam as a light meter if you can match the ISO or remember to do the adjustment for any difference.
Those cameras show the popularity of the perptentual search for more resolution - and the answer is that 35mm is good enough for most uses. The twin lens reflexes have much better resolution than 35mm, but are not as convinient to use and don't have the bells & whistles of 35mm. My impression is that for the same quality, they are about the same price as 35mm. |
