Twin Lens Reflex cameras reached their height of popularity during the 1940s – the 1960s and were quite the camera of choice amongst professionals and serious amateurs. These cameras were used by photographers as diverse as Diane Arbus and David Bailey.

The image quality of these cameras is still competitive with modern optics as these cameras can be an excellent value for the money if you don’t mind manual operation keeping them maintained.
