My first introduction to TTV photography was when Mr. E Cipher emailed me about doing a camera swap. He wanted to know if I'd trade a mintycam for one of his Kodak Duaflex TTV camera contraptions. It sounded like a great trade to me, and I was curious about what effects I could conjure up with this new piece of equipment. Basically it's a mailing tube attached to the top of an old Kodak Duaflex 620 camera. you stick A 90 or 100mm macro lens into the top of the mailing tube and focus on the ground glass viewfinder of the Duaflex. This process makes your subject matter look like it's incased in glass.
To make your own, you'll need to find a Kodak Duaflex 1 (This is the only duaflex that doesn't have an enclosure around the viewfinder). A mailing tube that fits around the viewfinder. A camera with a 90 or 100mm macro lens. Some black tape to attach the mailing tube to the Duaflex. The idea is to focus on the ground glass of the viewfinder to get the edges of the glass. I have best results when I use a larger aperture like f 5.6 or f 8.
