Thanks for the tips Don, very useful. I took some more of the K1000 using your advice. This was taken with the flash above and behind with a reflector (bit of tin foil) to bounce some light back. I struggled to get an interesting reflection in the lens whilst maintaining a viewpoint that showed off the design of the camera.
However, whilst messing about trying to get an interesting reflection, I had an idea for the Rolleiflex. Remembering your nikon pic of the flowers with the prism housing taken off, I did a picture of the Rollei with the light path in reverse. This is taken with one flash pointing straight down to pass light through the viewfinder lens and the other flash filling in the front face (via a reflector). The idea needs a bit more work I think, it's a bit "black on black" at the moment, but it was an interesting experiment.
Duncan.
