It is a beautifully made camera with excellent image quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTLR Design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The twin lens is obsolete...Who would want one?\" I strongly disagree with that statement. Let me try to convince you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSLR cameras are certainly more useful for certain types of photography but the TLR has some important advantages that flow directly from its design. In an SLR there is a large and heavy mirror that has to move at high speed with every exposure. The mirror slows down response but more importantly it creates a strong slap that you can hear and feel, particularly in a medium format camera (this is the source of the Hasselblad \"thunk.\") The slap makes noise that can be objectionable, particularly if you are shooting weddings or strangers on the street. It also creates vibration that degrades your photos, even with a tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, there is no mirror slap on the TLR. The shutter is very quiet, nearly silent in a large room, and there is greatly reduced vibration, which makes for sharper photos, particularly when hand-held or with long exposures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the functional advantages, the TLR design has a charm not found in SLR designs. I find that people open up to a camera that they see as a charming oddity and this gets you better pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is in excellent condition with light wear and works perfectly. The shutter is strong and accurate at all speeds. The mechanical functions are smooth. There is a small dent on the bottom of the camera, but it does not affect the function of the camera. The lens is clean and scratch free with no haze, fungus, nor other issues. The split-image focusing screen is in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lens cap and takeup spool are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSKU: 260714SR-2\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rollei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45803465539628,"sku":"SL C4 RL-C-1*260714SR-2","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/7009\/1820\/files\/DSC_3704.jpg?v=1784909960","url":"https:\/\/www.victorycamera.com\/products\/rollei-rolleiflex-t-tlr-medium-format-film-camera-zeiss-75mm-f3-5-exc","provider":"Victory Camera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
