The Ensign Ful-Vue TLR is a very simple camera to operate. However, if certain precautions are taken, decent results are possible.
This camera has been a favorite of mine from the first time I saw one in the pages of McKeown’s. It took some time to locate a beautiful example at a reasonable price. After replacing the Rubylith window, the Ful-Vue was ready for its first roll of film.

Ensign Ful-Vue
I have a Ensign full view. It’s was my mothers camera. I took my first picture with that camera when I was 4 years old. About 1960
