I got this cute Brownie Reflex camera from someone on etsy. I'm not using it with film, but instead I'm going to use it for TTV photography (stands for Through The Viewfinder). I'm going to make a cardboard tube to attach to the top of the Brownie camera and then point my DSLR down through the tube (blocks any light reflecting into the viewfinder). This enables me to take a digital photo through the viewfinder of the old TLR camera! The lens has some dirt/dust on the inside, which just adds more character, and I'll crop my photos so they're just the square frame of the Brownie camera.
I'm excited to play with it! You can see some other people's TTV photos in this Flickr group, if you're interested.
