What's the trick to focusing a TLR? I'm excited about using this
camera, I'm just a little confused with how focusing works since it's
obviously not the same as it is on my SLR's.
I had one 20 years ago or so. There should be a flip-up magnifier in the
hood. Flip that up for focusing. If it's not there for some reason, use a
magnifying glass and use that when you focus. If you cannot see the mage
snap into and out of focus with a magnifying glass, my suspicion is that
the camera is broken. Can you see the lenses move back and forth as you
turn the knob?
