Twin Lens Reflex Cameras: The twin lens reflex (TLR) was introduced in 1929 by Rollei. They were superseded by single-lens-reflex cameras with through-the-lens viewing.
They were shot on medium format cameras, either regular 120 format 2 - 1/4 cameras with masked backs, or odd little twin lens reflexes that took long discontinued 127 film, a miniature 120 film variant.
