This is the first TLR I've owned. It was missing a leg which caused a light leak. But some electrical tape solved that problem. I love the twin lever focusing and the 10 blade iris. Downsides: non-standard shutter speeds make me think, I often set the self timer when I'm fumbling for the aperture lever, the shutter isn't threaded for a remote cable. The lens is very good, perhaps better than the one on my Yashica Mat 124G.

Outstanding images, Nesster! Looking at these, I have a lot more "woodshedding" (musician's term) to do with my Ricohflex! I'm simply
agog over the last one!

On the taking lens, a Bay 1 -> series 6 adaptor, ser 6 yellow-orange filter, and a keeper as lens shade. I have a couple of actual lens shades in ser 6 as well, though I didn't have one on when I took this pic. It is more common to see Bay 1 -> ser 5 adaptors, I had to scrounge around for the 6. I have a bunch of ser 6 stuff and a few adaptors, for the folders and the Industar.
With medium format I feel the scanner is definitely the weak point. You can see scan lines for example in the first photo, and I've never been happy with the tonal range available. Although Orio's Kiev samples are encouraging.

Dave, I'm glad you noticed the pumpkin lighting. I shot it at dawn on a very blue morning, and the porch light is on giving part of the pic the warm tone.

Congrats, Nesster, nice results from a nice camera.
I join the others in liking the pumpkings, the Dolmen one is also great.
(Well, if I've to be honest, all of them are great!).

This looks liek a cracking camera, I tried looking for a cheap one but they seem too well known to go cheap.
Do you know what the films used were?

Have a look at the chrome shutter release surround for either a thread or removable ring - most TLRs used what was known as the 'Leica nipple' release which screws over the top of the camera's shutter release like a tyre valve cap. |

For the Diacord, but I'm pretty sure it's going to work on my Ricohflex. If
it doesn't, it will be my gift to you.

Bill, I'm sure it will work on yours, though I've read a variety of experiences on this... On mine there's a knurled nut that holds the shutter button, I don't see how that nipple would get purchase... except the nut can be unscrewed a bit and then the nipple screws into it. Don't unscrew it too far as some one on the net had his shutter button fall inside the camera.
