The Seagull is a very impressive camera in use. I had the one with the 4-element lens and it was superb. The cheaper 3-element version was also very good from about f8 onwards. Well worth getting a copy if you like traditional TLRs.

anyway, great link Cool

Really? I did not know that. I wonder how it compares to Japanese TLRs like Yashica?

Favourably, though not quite as nice to use. I'll dig out some images from my archive...

Yeah, I guess Japanese QC/QA and precision engineering would be way better than Chinese ones. Thanks.

Copy of the negative with my GX10. According to my index page on which I've simply written: " Kodak Gold 200, Boots D&P, Sunpak flash, Seagull 4A, December 1995"



I guess this was one of the occasions I was trying to train the dog to pose Laughing
