Hello Everyone!
The Seagull Twin-Lens Reflex Camera Upgrade project has reached its prototype stage. A complete prototype camera has been retrofitted and currently undergone further testing.
Due to the popularity of panoramic photography, we are researching methods of changing the seagull camera's internal mechanism. The modifications would allow the camera to photograph in 24x60 format. The upgrade involves changing the internal mechanism and remaking its film transmission gear. Therefore this modification change is irreversible.
We are also proud to announce plans to research further upgrades to the TLR of other camera manufacturers. An announcement of the specific camera brand will be available at a later date.
Prototype Version One with Lens element protruding to the out of camera body.
Prototype Version Two with lens element recessed into camera body:

Excited to see the fusion of seagull concept with digital sensors.
Great ideology.
Count me in…. Great work guys…
Love the idea.
I would be very interested
Wow, I am so happy Light Lens Lab exists.
It is the experience as well as features that I am after.
The panorama mode you are teasing looks extremely tempting. If you could make it switchable and not an irreversible modification, you would have an absolute killer product!
For the same reason, I certainly would not mind if you gave the camera a more contemporary housing for example. Are you considering releasing the CAD files for it? I imagine it could give rise to great modding community.
Fantastic work
