A TLR for $35? Well that’s about US$25 … for a TLR. Saw someone selling an old Haiou (Seagull) TLR (I think it’s the old 4A-103 model) for parts because the film advance wasn’t working. Took a risk and bought it to try resurrecting it and after a couple of hours of struggling and feeding some sewing machine oil to it … it came to live! In a rush, I fired a roll of Agfa Portrait film on it and I’m very surprised (and happy) with what it can still do! I’d love to take a photo of the camera now but it’s kinda naked because I ripped all the leather(?) coverings apart as they were pretty worn out. I’ll probably go find some nice material to dress it up before taking a photo of it.
These are some of the photos from the test roll. Nothing fancy, just some test shots scanned using my el-cheapo scanner …
