I want one!
Another old favorite is back again! Based on the royal red and gold colors of traditional Chinese royalty, the Limited Edition 4A-105 is simply one of the most stunning mechanical cameras ever produced! And this guy isn’t just another pretty face – there’s a glowing 4-element Haiou lens, an auto-advance crank, a multi-exposure override button, and a host of other awesome features to behold. Like its Seagull brethren, it uses medium format film for superior color, resolution, and enlargements.
Seagull TLR camera, $285 from the lomographic society.

OMG! It’s bee-you-tee-ful! (still drooling) Taking photos with it would be the icing on the cake; I’d be happy just to see this sitting on my shelf looking pretty.
Wow, great find!

Very interesting development (no pun intended) from Seagull. Although their mechanical quality was poor in the 1970’s, they’ve come a long way. My experience with their optics is that they are really very good - particularly for the price point. I’ve made 24″ ilfochrome prints from one of their old Model 203-1 folding cameras, and they are fantastic. It’s no Hasselblad, but the larger format sure makes it inherently superior to 35mm. I just may sell some older cameras and buy this one.

Wow, I have been living in China for the past year. I have never even seen this in any shops in Beijing. I have to say it’s pretty impressive.
