Twin Lens
I just bought a TLR. Should I return?
I just bought a Twin lens reflex camera for $ 150. It was rather notoriety to buy. Its something I wanted, but I do not really need. I'm studying photography, but I moved in Digital. So what does everyone think to keep it or return it?
I'd probably keep it. In this fast-paced Digital World it is the reader do things faster and controlled by computer. There are times when I think back to the old methods for centering experience itself. The absence drive motor and program modes, TTL metering and all the bells and whistles requires you to slow down and really think about what you want photograph. With 120 films you get 12 shots. I try to test myself a few years all to see if I can do one picture of each situation I found. I must manually prepare the camera set the shutter, focus and wait. I find it a great way to get my point of view re-listening to the endless possibilities that come to a photographer. If you do not "need" the money for any something more urgent, the camera does not take too much space. The real problem is that in the very near future find the film and chemicals to treat images will be difficult to find or too expensive to fool with. I think long term, something you have to decide if it's worth.
