Greg, You really overpaid. But, alas, it's a good camera once you fix the lens. If you're handy with mechanical things it's fairly easy. You have to remove the screws holding the bellows to the lens piece. Then remove the lens. I drilled mine which shattered it nicely. Then, I believe there is a

Mark, I use type 52 Polaroid in studio for proofing purposes when I'm shooting portraits (usually self portraits) using strobes. It reduces my margin of error concerning my lighting scheme (studio lighting with pinhole is touchy) as well as tells me exactly where the camera is looking. One thi
