I'm offering my TL120-55 for sale. It is in excellent condition. This is a late model 3D world camera with a John Thurston designed lens board and matched 55mm lenses. John Thurston installed the lens board and put a connector in there so the original 80mm lenses can be reinstalled with a functioning meter. The original lenses are included, as are lens caps and hoods for the 55mm lenses and for the original lenses. I'm asking $1,800. Truly awful picture in the photos section in the "Matt TL120-55" folder. I'll try to post nicer pictures soon.

Matt's TL120-55 is a nice example of the camera. I shot a roll on the camera after the conversion and was very pleased with the lenses.

The lenses are nicely matched Mamiya 55mm f/4.5 lenses mounted in older (chromed) shutters. I chose to mount mine in newer (black) shutters, but the old chrome looks awsome. The age or looks of the shutters is irrelevant to function because only the apertures are used. The Tl120-55 uses the stock focal-plane shutters from the TL120-1.

I'm happy to answer questions about the TL120-55 in general, or about this specific example. Just ask.
