TLR

TLR stands for twin-lens reflex – a type of camera where one lens serves the viewfinder (typically a waist-level viewfinder), and the other lens serves taking the picture.

TLR stands in contrast with SLR, short for single-lens reflex – a type of camera where the same lens serves both the viewfinder and the picture taking.

JAPB is a website centred on photography and photo gear, with a special interest in using old lenses on modern cameras.

We (currently, I) are not trying to push you to buying new, expensive gear. Instead, our approach is the opposite (in all aspects). Instead we want to help you made informed decisions, and if we can be said to ‘push’ anything, that would be relatively cheap, old gear.

JAPB is non-profit, in fact this is a loss generator. Some day that might change, but we’ll make sure that does not happen at the expense of the audience.
