Microflexin'

Already a while back I was able to acquire an old Microflex camera on one of London's numerous flea markets, a twin lens reflex camera producing mid format photos. Built in 1958 as a copy of the famous Rolleiflex cams, the thing is still working like on day one.

The special thing about these TLR cams is obvious: different perspective, most of the people won't even notice when you take a photo, bigger negatives (equals more details) and the quadratic format. Furthermore it is just a damn joy to shoot with these cameras! So when you stumble across a working one on a flea market, get that thing...

Below is a quick selection from the last four rolls of film I winded through the Microflex.
