I'm only on part 1 and I'm already hooked! I just recently purchased a couple of these old TLR's, The Ikoflex and the Flexaret. After reading your blog, I'm sure I will accumulate more to my collection! Great Job! Don Thank you for writing this piece. I’m only on part 1 and I’m already hooked!

I love them, reliable, great looking, sturdy, rugged, and I have got some very sharp lenses for them. I can highly recommend them to anyone.

It definitely is a big beast, but it's as good as it gets for TLR cameras for me (yeah, maybe the C330 would be the one to go for, but it would've cost at least twice as much). Apparently there's not that many differences apart from weight and the fact that some C330 can apparently take 220 film. If a C330 is a tad too much for you, maybe look for a C3 or a C33. The lenses are awesome, and you can't ask for a more robust camera. Read this somewhere: "If you drop it, you leave a dent in the concrete." I'm a convert from a broken Yashica Mat 124G, and I don't regret buying it, not at all. I just recently bought a Mamiya C33 on the cheap (comparably), and it’s a really nice camera.

My blog as taken a recent turn of reviewing old film cameras from my personal museum connection, which I am now selling after a lifetime of collecting. I am a vintage photographer who used most of the cameras featured. I have over a hundred reviews currently with more coming. My reviews are subjective as I remember them when I used them back when. My slant takes into account the historical perspective of the era. I think you may enjoy it, as I have enjoyed this blog. http://notesandnods.typepad.com/photography_for_profit_or/2009/week38/index.html I am pleased to see yet another resource for film cameras.

I have since added 5 other older cameras so now I shoot several formats: 2.4x3.6, 3x4, 4x6, 6x6 and 6x9 (all measurements in cm). Very interesting article - Thanks ...

I was gifted a Rolleiflex 1:3.5 camera and accessories years ago along with the original sales receipt from 1959. I had it overhauled and a slight repair by a retired German Camera Repair person who use to repair Rollieflex cameras in Germany. That was a truly momentus meeting here in Canada Pacific Area. I have used this camera for portraits and weddings with awesome results. By the way it has Carl Zeiss lens. I would appreciate knowing how one can get a hold of the product instruction booklet for this model? I thank Andrew for posting this interesting article on the TLR's. with sincere appreciation M.
