- Twin Lens Reflex Camera
It is a twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) produced in the United States in 1948-1951, a period of only 2 years in total. The camera body is made of molded metal, covered with black leatherette, simple and beautiful, which is different from previous models and the next model with the camera body made of Bakelite. This model is developed from the Argus Argoflex E produced before World War II by adding F at the end, meaning there is a hot shoe flash sync attached to the left side of the camera. But it can only be used with flashes produced specifically for that model at that time. It cannot be used with general flashes and flashes used today. The Argus Argoflex EF is a true TLR camera, that is, a pair of lenses, viewing and taking pictures, moving the focus simultaneously by turning the ring on the front lens. There is a gear on the connecting ring. But after this model, Argus only produced cameras that are pseudo-TLRs. The lens has a fixed focus and uses a zone focus system instead. ...

The Voigtländer Brillant or Brilliant (UK name) series of cameras began production from 1932 to 1951. They were twin-lens reflex cameras (TLR Twin Lens Reflex) that were designed and influenced by the Rolleiflex camera. However, the first models were Pseudo-TLR, which means that the camera format was a fixed pair of lenses that could not focus on the object at the same time. It was not possible to look at the upper lens and focus directly on the lower lens. It worked similarly to a box camera. The upper lens only reflected the object that it wanted to photograph. The lower lens was fixed and could not be moved in or out, but there was a dial to focus on the object as specified. The first models of cameras were made of pressed steel. Later, they were changed to use Bakelite instead. There were also many different types of lenses. The Brillant series of cameras used 120 roll film and took 12 6x6 cm photos.
Voigtländer Brillant S or Focusing Brillant This is the last model of production in the Brillant family. The camera body is made of Bakelite. The lens set has been changed to be able to focus on objects, both the camera lens and the viewfinder lens. ...
