Oh! Is fun playing with it! If you know how to load the film than you should be able to spend some time to know how to operate it??? If still dont know than post the pic of your Seagull TLR camera how it look like, than members here can help you. I will follow up!

Part of the fun is figuring out how to use one :P Which model is it? I do have a 'manual' for the 107, I can scan it for you if it's the same/similar model.

Great work! Basically it's just like a normal manual camera with twin lens, if you're able to shoot film in the past, i suppose you're able to with a TLR, i doubt it comes with AV or TV mode does it? cause it's a reletively old camera i suppose. So use a DSLR with AV mode, Meter the subject and the settings to ur TLR, Focus and shoot away. :clap2:

ZOMG! That sounds really really chim.. Chimanology indeed. But bad news.. The lever for the adjustment of aperture broke!!! And i sent it for repair and servicing, eg clean e lens, was told that there's fungus.. It cost me $170 to replace the lever and servicing.

Tsktsk...
