It was originally a single body with no viewfinder, but it proved difficult to hold a composition steady as seen via the ground glass on the back, whilst closing down the aperture, inserting the film holder, cocking the focal plane shutter and then removing the dark slide. http://www.half-fast.com/ So I added another body, another Arsat lens, two proper lens mounts and an old Polaroid reflex mirror... making the camera an odd heavy TLR but which works okay me... did I tell you it's heavy? ;-) http://www.half-fast.com/-FishFlex.jpg http://www.hemenway.com/FishFlex-BoatsAtHullGut.jpg JimH On 9/4/13 11:00 PM, Kayai wrote: > I love fisheye shots.
