Default Thinking....

Yoz MF people,

I'm thinking of getting a Seagull TLR for a tryout and hopefully, venture further into MF.

Where is a good place where I can get one for a good price (how much is one anyway?)

Which model of the Seagull TLR is good for MF beginners? I like the results from the Holga but 6x6 will be a challenge..

Or anyone selling their TLRs??

Heehee

Try John 3:16 or Konota. Seagull 4B-1 should be $195 max. Crank versions more ex (but non-crank better IMO as crank versions tend to break down more easily).

Haha, just got my M7. the thing about MF cameras is that it makes you think before you snap the shot. Dun want to be trigger happy when you have only 10 shots per roll. The end results will blow you away....

Default slide

Try out a roll of slide and get it process for $5 at RGB beach road - get back within 2 hours and you will know where the results with regards continuing interest on TLR.

In my case, I was clearly impressed with the clarity and contrast of the colour. I am simply thrilled!!

Self processing of black and white film also not difficult and similar to 35mm - do remember to cut off the black tail end tape after loading into reel - cos can result in blacken liquid in your developer.

Share and care with fellow user.
