SEA GULL: B. I. G. Twin 4 TLR 1997
This is a typical example of a Sea Gull Twin Lens Reflex Camera. It is really a poorly made camera. This one performs like other Sea Gulls. It is a giant step up from a Holga or Diana but not even close to a Rolleicord, Minolta Autocord, or even a Yashica. The Sea Gull is best described as poor execution of a good concept. The concept being best demonstrated by the Rolleiflex twin lens reflex camera. If you like shoddy Chinese goods youll love this camera. Instruction book is in German.
It has had very little use. It has been handled but has only had 4 rolls of film put through it. The shutter sounds ok except at 1/15th. This is explainable because 1/15th is on the edge of the fast/slow shutter escapement range; it runs slow or at 1/15th depending on its mood. I would avoid using it at 1/15th.
I am putting a very low price on it because I have very little regard for the camera. Sold as is. This is the perfect camera as a bookend, boat anchor, or for a camera display.
$29 (cheap) including shipping to a US address.
If you want it send me a private message with your email address and we can close the deal.
