Key Features:

1. Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) Design:

• The SeaGull GC-105 features a twin-lens reflex design, with two lenses stacked on top of each other:
  • The viewing lens (top lens) is used for composing and focusing through the waist-level viewfinder.
  • The taking lens (bottom lens) captures the image on the film.
• This design allows for a clear and bright viewfinder experience, especially when shooting from the waist level, which is popular in portraiture and street photography.

2. Medium Format Film (120 Film):

• The GC-105 uses 120 medium format film, known for its large negative size, which results in sharp images, rich tonal range, and exceptional detail compared to 35mm film.
• The camera captures 6x6cm square images, delivering 12 exposures per roll of 120 film, offering high-quality results suitable for enlargements and professional work.

3. 75mm f/3.5 Lens:

• The camera is equipped with a 75mm f/3.5 taking lens, which is a standard focal length for medium format cameras, providing a natural field of view.
• The f/3.5 aperture allows for decent low-light performance and shallow depth of field, giving you control over subject isolation and bokeh (background blur).

4. Shutter Speeds:

• The SeaGull GC-105 offers a range of shutter speeds, typically from 1/300 second to 1 second, including Bulb mode for long exposures.
• This allows flexibility for various lighting conditions, from fast action shots to long-exposure night photography.

5. Waist-Level Viewfinder:

• The waist-level viewfinder is a key feature of TLR cameras. It provides a large, bright ground glass focusing screen that lets you compose and focus while looking down at the camera.
• It also has a pop-up magnifier for precise focusing, especially useful for close-up or detailed compositions.

6. Manual Focus and Exposure:

• The GC-105 is fully manual, meaning you have complete control over focusing and exposure settings, making it ideal for photographers who enjoy the tactile, thoughtful process of analog photography.
• This manual control enhances the photographer’s connection with the scene and subject, offering a more deliberate shooting experience.

7. Build and Portability:

• The camera has a classic, durable build with a metal and plastic body, designed to withstand regular use.
• Its compact size and reasonable weight for a medium format camera make it portable and relatively easy to carry for street, landscape, or portrait photography.

Additional Features:

• Cold Shoe Mount: Located on the top of the camera for attaching accessories like an external light meter or flash.
• Depth of Field Scale: Helps the photographer gauge what will be in focus at different apertures, adding precision to manual focusing.
• Flash Sync Port: For attaching external flash units for studio or night photography.
