His arguments with the chap who produces the Littman polaroid conversions on photo.net are classics.  Pure weapon grade mentalism.

I have read those arguments threatening litigation of anyone whom converts a polaroid in the manner "pioneered"; hilarious!!! patents are available online which are basically step by step instructions for the process, so yeah.

the razzles look great to me. I like all the models he makes. and the prices are reasonable for a hand modified 4x5 range-finder.

Yeah, as opposed to Littman's $100,000 camera.

Although he's not the only one taking the piss.

The world needs more eccentrics. Especially ones who can build a camera like that!

I bought a lovely Polaroid 110a to try this myself, it looks superb. I'm crap at DIY and afraid I'll mess up so if anyone wants a nice camera and a 5x4 back to try this conversion let me know.
