Most designs had an upper lens which provided the view on a focusing screen that was the same size as the film and a lower lens to focus the image. Vertically transported 2 1/4 (120) roll film was most common, but others used 620; some 127, and there was at least one that used 35mm film which moved horizontally. Both lenses racked in and out as you focused and the lower could be stopped down, but the upper remained fully open. Few designs provided interchangeable lenses, the Mamiya C series being an exception. Some 35mm designs placed the lenses side by side.
As with any camera design where the viewing and image systems are not one and the same, there is a degree of parallax. Some tripods built for TLR's had a means of raising the lower lens to the position of the upper before the picture was made in an effort to reduce parallax. Another disadvantage was that there was no way to preview depth of field as the viewing lens had no aperture. However, they were popular waist-level cameras (less intimidating to people who were subjects) and could synchronize with flash at any shutter speed because of the leaf shutters they used.

What is digital single reflex lens?
A Digital Single Reflex Lens or DSLR is a type of camera which uses a series of mirrors inside the camera, so that when you look inside the viewfinder of a DSLR, then you will see almost precisely what the camera sensor sees, accurate to a few thousandths of a millimetre. This construction of the mirrors makes the camera more expensive to make, and most cameras simply use the easier and cheaper method, digital viewfinders, which only work when the camera is turned on, whereas on a DSLR, you can look through it anytime (as long as the lens cap is off!)
What does SLR mean when buying a digital camera?
SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. It means that the lens is removable and interchangeable. It also means that you're getting better picture quality as well as a faster shutter speed. Typically with an SLR there is a larger image sensor inside the camera that doesn't compress the photo as much as a simple point and shoot camera would.
