Feeding the Obsession: The Concava Tessina

Image from Rick Soloway

I now have a new camera to obsess about. It’s the Concava Tessina It was released in the year I was born. It takes pictures on 35mm film loaded into custom cassettes. It is a twin lens reflex which uses a mirror to reflect the image from the lens down onto the film surface. It is tiny, fits in a cigarette packet (whatever that is), and you can wear it on your wrist like a watch. And it is pretty much impossible to find one anywhere.

Perfect.
