Kodachrome was the Instagram of its time

I don't miss the limitations of a roll of film, I usually took about 10-12 rolls of 120 film on a trip. thats 120-150 frames. Never bracketed, sometimes took two pictures of the same subject from different angles. The habbits carried over, with digital i shoot maybe twice as much (with about the same number of good pictures per trip, so for me more shots != more pics).

What i miss is the experience and workflow of a mechanical 6x6 TLR camera. You hold the camera at chest level, look down on the viewscreen, frame, then decide to take the picture or not. Nothing in digital does this yet.

I haven't used a TRL, so I don't see what's the difference from just using a digital camera that can flip the screen 90 degrees up? Like an Olympus M1 mk. 3, for instance?

It works in direct sunlight.
