Re: Ask the Expert (none / 0)

For esther, there's a pile of other options - I'm thinking some of the 50s or 60s fixed lens RFs or maybe even a folding 6x6 like my Zeiss Mess Ikonta. Fully manual, good lenses, small, fun to use, cute in a retro sort of way.

Re: Ask the Expert (none / 0)

I was going to mention Rolleiflex's TLRs, but seems they are getting a bit pricey. I've been following e-bay bids for several weeks. However, Yashica's and Mamiyas are pretty reasonable.

In Wales likes her Yashica, I think.

I love my Chinese made Seagull 109, but I've heard complaints about build quality. Mine has been perfect for 6 years but I'm hesitant about recommending the brand.
