Gosh, maybe I shouldn't have ordered that TL120. At least with this camera I could shoot
some Kodachrome...

I am curious, how does one advance 35mm film when using this adaptor? Does the
adaptor include some way of determining what frame you're on?

It does look like a great camera. I've been wondering if the new Chinese MF camera will
drive down the value of these 3D MF classics. Is the shutter in good working order?

From my quick look at the pictures it seemed to
have a frame counter dial on the top edge.

What wasn't clear to me is the frame size.
It sure looks like it has 7P or 8P film
apertures on the 35mm back. If I were going
to the trouble of building such a beast, I
think I would have cut the apertures out to
52 or 54 mm. It seems a shame to waste
all that width.

I hope it will.

If the camera _users_ can do their work with
a TL120, it will leave the vintage cameras
for the _collectors_ to fight over.

I occurs to me that the collectors probably
aren't aware of the coming of the TL120. Maybe
there is money to be made by short selling
Rolleidoscops?
