The two lenses are focused in sync, allowing you <!--more--> to adjust the focusing by eye.<\/p>\n<p>TLRs can take pretty good, sharp images. Their main disadvantage, compared with the single lens reflex (SLR \u2013 which essentially superseded the TLR) is the parallax error you can get at short range, due to the different positions of the two lenses.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First decent pic (of me) taken with a Welta Reflekta that I picked up for \u00a315 on ebay \u2013 perhaps because it wasn&#8217;t my finger on the shutter release.
