Eric, no! A Holga gives no control over shutter speeds
or aperture. And it lacks the TLR's finder. And besides,
it's made of icky plastic. I want machined steel in my

for me, please.
I know there were a ton of Rollei imitators making TLRs
in the 1950s. I wonder if any sported a meniscus taking
lens, that could be focused. (As opposed to the many
fixed-focus "TLRs" like the Duaflex that were really just
box cameras.) Thoughts?
Immediately after the end of the War, Zeiss Ikon
produced Ikoflex TLR's with a meniscus lens taken
from a box camera production run.
