Seeking a 'better' Seagull TLR manual

I've jumped-into medium format, after falling in love with film again.
I owe that new found love to the Lomo LC-A...

Armed with a light meter and a throbbing question-mark over my head, I
just shot my first 120 roll. I think I get it, but since all the
settings are manual, I would likely benefit from a better Chinese
interpretation than the one that came inserted in the
[hilariously-tacky] Seagull box.

I've searched Google, and haven't found any recent links for a Seagull
TLR [Model 4B,4B-1]. If you know of any links, please send them my
way.

Thanks in advance!

You might try looking for Rolleicord and Yashica TLR manuals.
Your Seagull won't be quite the same, but there will be a lot
of the basics in common.

Thanks Peter! I was reading about similarities last PM.
I'll look into that.

Thanks Dan! I'm taking my first 120 in today *tear*. I'll see how
'off the mark' I am.

That's the same manual that came with the camera that I own... I
guess it's more clear now -- the Seagull is a basic camera, and
photography basics need to be applied. After shooting a few more
rolls, a feeling of competency sets-in.

Using a light meter really helps. ;-)
