Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) cameras are uniquely recognizable for their two lenses. One lens is used for taking the images and the other is used for viewing, focusing, and framing your photos. The lenses are synchronized and of the same focal length to allow for accurate framing and focusing. 

The Seagull 4A shoots in a 6x6cm square format and can take 120 format, 220 format (now discontinued) film without any adapter. The camera may also be used to shoot on 35mm film however an external adapter is needed for the same. The adapter is not included with this camera.
