The retro design has made a major comeback among digital cameras – but a majority of retro-inspired digital cameras seem to find inspiration from the 1970s era silver-and-black SLRs and earlier classic rangefinders. But there’s a format from my retro camera collection that I’d really love to see make a comeback: The twin-lens reflex.
While retro-styled cameras seem to favor classic SLRs and rangefinder cameras, a digital twin-lens reflex isn’t unheard of. The Chuzhao has been popping up on Amazon’s list of best-sellers, undoubtedly for its classic twin lens look. But the Chuzhao falls more under the toy camera category rather than one meant for serious photographers – and I would love to see a modern remake of the classic twin-lens with high-end features.
