I'm glad someone brought this up. It seems that any camera on the site in question is a direct rip-off of others ideas and concepts. I am all for free-trade and commerce, however, I would have a greater respect for an original product line - not just reverse-engineered copies. Don --- Steve Ree

First they copied Zernike Au designs and now they are making this camera. I wont be buying it. It must be hard to get 120 film to span across the 22cm back. I will wait and see if Zernike Au makes a new camera. Much better to buy an original than a copy.

The camera is said to have a 60mm focal length. Does anyone have experience with images made that wide, nearly 8.5 inches, from such a focal lenth (at f/360) on 120 film? Are the edges even useful at that extreme? I guess what I'm getting at is this camera a gimmick? Will the user most likey have
