its gorgeous.

The American Photo magazine quote the price at USD2000, but checking the website most of the price I saw come close to USD5000

That's because those prices are with a lens.

Do a search on Photo.net for Littman.
I poked around while trying to find reviews of this product. It looks great, am sure its made very well etc.
But his insistence on stressing that his product is 'patented' is just too defensive for my tastes.

How does this differ from the speed graphics you can find off ebay? I thought some of them have an RF as well? or some kind of finder?

I don't believe you don't need ground glass to focus on a 4x5, a MF RF is already quite tricky to focus wide open let alone a 4x5.

I prefer the Razzledog...more style and a better holder on back. Pricing is a little more reasonable, too...starts at about US$1000.

Nice, even better.

I like this from the razzle website - "Rest assured this site is both Patent and insanity free.
There's neither false claims nor threats of Littigation." - hehehe.... good sense of humour too.

enivre · 8th March 2008

I can't find any purchasing information on the razzle, I e-mailed him so waiting for a reply.

Has it been adapted for 4x5 yet or is it just the 110 Land camera?

BTW, if you want to do it yourself, you can get a DIY .pdf for US$18 at http://www.lulu.com/content/731510

Reply from Razzle maker Dean to those who are interested,

"Cost of a Razzle is usually between $750-$1000US.....Deposit of $300
via PayPal using my email address is all that's required to get
started, but then there's a rather long wait, maybe the end of the year :'(

I have many orders already and am working around the clock......

Shipping and a G/G screen is included in the price."

That's a pretty long wait... as long as getting a ferrari...

But I am sure it's worth the wait.

Few businesses can get into such characteristic today...

Hi everyone,

It a model 150 land Polaroid.

It a low end polaroid instant rollfilm cameras back from the late's 50's.
Not really worth your time to convert this camera to a 4X5 camera.
Maybe convert this to take 120 film/6x9?

Polaroid/Pathfinder 110A or 110B are pro cameras back in the 50's.
Sure are much better off to spent your time and $$$ on the right place.

Maybe, you guys should get one 110A or 110B on Ebay
and ask Mr Tay to do the conversion to take 4X5?
That is if he get the time.

The wait is for the same reason...human hands do the work

If you're garang enough, what about a 4x5 graphic, the original 4x5 rangefinder? :P
