PERSONAL NOTES

Of all TLRs that I have used, I find this Flexaret to be the most beautiful. Its leatherette color, attention to detail, and finish is very nice.

The thing I like the most about this camera is that I am able to focus using both hands. The design is close to the Minolta Autocord. The Film advance mechanism works fine on mine, no need to align the film thru a red window, and no possibility for multiple exposures by mistake.

CONCLUSION

TLRs are fun and cheap. If you never experimented with one, go ahead and try one, its a must. And they're cute too :-)
