Alceu's Sketches

A camera that belonged to my grandmother.

“This Italian TLR from the early 50’s uses 120mm film and shoots in the 6x6 format. Instead of traditional aperture blades it uses 2 plates which slide towards each other in a 45 degree angle, forming a square hole. The viewfinder does not feature any sort of focus preview, so an estimate of how far away your subject is from your position is necessary in order to get a focused image.” Text by the Flickr user billbaard.
