Great Starter and LoFi Art

By Ketch me if you can build one from Santa Barbara CA on 8/8/2008

Pros:

Cheap, Easy Setup, Learning tool, No Nonsense, No Power

Cons:

Grip Glue Can Loosen, Legs Can Cause Light Leak, Limited Lens Selection, OK Construction, OK Optics

Best Uses:

Art, Fun, Learning

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I took this to Greece, Turkey, Italy, Alaska, Canada, and many states in between. I'm thrilled I got some really great shots. It's very easy to learn on and it's all manual so no power or computer limiting you on double exposing.

The high heat and humidity in the Med caused the grip to peel a bit in places but Super Glue fixed that. A leg broke off and caused a light leak, again Super Glue got that. The leak shots reminded me of my Holga and actually revived my LoFi Art of yesteryear.

Due to the cheap price I didn't really worry about carrying this in the open, ready to shoot. People haven't seen a TLR in so long (or ever) so I got some funny reaction candids too.

The lens it comes with is fine for most situations. It's not supposed to replace Zeiss but at the price it's fine for me. I should have bought the lens hoods (remember to buy two!) but cardboard adds more character to the LoFi experience. But I took some very nice shots with this, so it's not just for toy cam fans, it's the cheapest way to get into TLRs.

Overall I'm very glad I got it. I've taken it all over the world twice now, including Alaska in winter and it just keeps shooting. It needs no power or a month in a padded room to learn it, get out and shoot, I say!
