This is Oscar, a feral born in my back yard. He moved inside a few years ago, and has a cat's dream life by "the big scream TV" - a slider with bird feeders attached. Shooting a black cat against a bright background isn't fun, and now that I have a TLR he is scared of the camera. Whereas he use to pose for the camera. I think he thinks the lenses are eyes?
He’s just telling you need to get a Rolleiflex.
Nah, I made my choice for Mamiya. The Ikoflex, Yashicaflex, Waltzflex, and l;literally all the other TLR's are copies or variants of the exact same design.Mamiya's have unique featurers like interchangeable lenses, interchangeable viewfinders (the 3.5X-6X chimney is amazing), sheet film backs, addon light meters, extra close focusing via long extending bellows - a simple mechanical parallax correction. Yeah, they are extremely well built or rugged even clunky, but they grow on you like a barnacle attaches to a ship hull.
