Early morning brainstorming: $170.00 for a Holgaroid (body+back) is just crazy, but I just might want one.
Polaroid packfilm has just about the same image size as 120 (?).
An old Kodak smaller than 120 has a low-fi lens that will vignette nicely with a packfilm back.
Mounting the back will most likely increase the distance to the film plane.
So...I'm looking for a cheap old folding Kodak that has the following features:
Film size smaller than 120
Ball-bearing shutter with good variety of speeds
A lens that zone-focuses via the distance scale on the bed (as opposed to fixed focus or front cell focus)...this will make it easier to adjust the focus when a new back is fitted on.
Problems:
All of the small Kodaks I've looked at are either fixed focus or front cell focused and have very simple shutters, eg; the vest pockets and bantams. I'm looking for something like a small autographic and I'm not sure it exists. Any ideas?
