Last year I came across an argoflex seventy-five at a flea market in Hollis, NH. the flea market there is a great place to find cool stuff, it hasn’t been overrun by the knockoff purses like the other flea markets have. Anyways I was hoping to use this baby for awhile and just never got around to it. It’s actually been gathering dust on my shelf until recently i stumbled upon a flickr group called through the view finder . In this group are photos from people taking pictures from camera threw the lens of another. Naturally a TLR(twin lens reflex) camera makes a great choice as the view finder is quite large. this started giving me ideas and I stumbled upon this group TTV-Mods. Go here if you want to see other peoples contraptions, I found one gentleman’s set up that seemed perfect to me and I recently went to home depot to get my supplies. in my next post I will list the parts needed and a sort of how to to create your own set up. I have seen simple ones were cardboard is used but it seems way to flimsy to me and has a risk for breaking one or both cameras.
Below is a picture of what i am trying to accomplish and a small gallery of the argoflex seventy-five pre-mod. Please keep in mind that I will not be permanently altering any of the cameras.
