4x5.jpg
this camera started life as a polaroid 250 and a polaroid 95a... I combined them after first correcting it for the infinity focus. The back was made by me since the price of a grafloc back is more than a graflex camera. Both are way to much for a butcher of cameras. Total build coast is about thrity five dollars I expect. It actually does pretty good.

My next build is a camera that I can sell on ebay... a polaroid pinhole with predicatable fstop. One that has a shutter of sorts. should be interesting. I have the special precission drillbits on the way to cut the pin hole in metal.

Cant decide whether to do it on a folding pack frame like this or one of the plastic colorpack frames. Any suggestions which you would rather have...
 
Now, that is just too cool. :thumbup: Ugly or not, it has definite appeal! :lol:
 
I want to see some pictures from it! :thumbup: All I can really make out is that Polaroid front.
