About Features
As I mentioned last time.
There are two lenses.
The upper lens is used to look at the subject to be photographed, and
The lower lens is used to capture the subject.

Unlike an SLR camera, the viewfinder is on top.
Therefore, when shooting, the viewfinder is viewed from above.
The subject is mirrored, so the object you want to capture appears to be
the opposite of what you want to capture.
The film used is 120 (Brownie) film.
The above has been written in as simple and easy-to-understand
terms as possible.
It has more controls than an SLR camera, but
but the camera has a vintage look and feel that makes it an enjoyable
camera to take time to shoot with.
I will make a column in the future if there are any additions
to this information.
In addition to the products mentioned above, we also sell
vintage cameras and lenses.
