My first TLR, my most impatiently awaited ebay purchase, and my most adorable camera after E-P1:

The company that made it went bankrupt in 1961, so it's at least in its 50ies already.
Snappy shutter, clean glass, solid build, gorgeous camera.

You are going to shoot a roll?
Can't wait to see a sample or two...
Just beautiful....

A real live TLR--the forgotten older brother of the famous SLR!

Thanks, boys!
Yes, I am gonna shoot roll, I actually already did with another camera, but I am struggling digitizing the images.
My flatbed does not have a film adapter, my film scanner only scans 35mm, and I am left either scanning the proof sheet, or shooting the negative against the window with a digital camera.
Which would be more appropriate according to you?

Make sure you have milky plexiglass to tape the negatives to on the window.. Probably the better way to go with a macro lens I guess..
