The Same, but Different!
My reply to Robert Warren yesterday, about the Kodak Reflex and Mamiyaflex, prompted me to post this picture of them together, - about the only thing in common is that they are both TLR's !
The Mamiyaflex has interchangeable lenses and rack focussing, and can get to within a few of inches of the subject, whereas the KR2 can only focus down to about 3 feet - 1 metre, much like a Rollie or Yashica TLR. It's much smaller than the Mamiya, and is more intuitive to use, and far lighter, a mere 980g compared to the Mamiya's hefty 1.55kg with the 80mm lenses, and as time passes, it matters!
That said, I used various C Series Mamiyas over a long time, they are almost indestructable, about the only film camera to survive, long term, on converted trawlers in the North Atlantic, where we both spent many happy(?) years! That's all behind me now, and I can spend my days pottering about with interesting old beasts like the Kodak Reflex II ;-)
Taken with a Canon Ixus 960is @ 80 ISO equivalent.
