Had a look at my Foma 5X7" paper and that paper will fit in my holders so maybe I'll buy some just to try it out. If it won't fit I'll find other use for it.
Loaded some 4X5" holder with EFKE IR 820 today. They are harder to load than my
13X18cm holder, go figure

Looks like I'm in the market for a Harman Titan.

I wonder if a polariod 545i will fit it ???

No, the polaroid will not fit on the Harman Titan unfortunately. It was the first thing i tried getting it out of the box. The Fuji QL holder will not either but a small modification can make it work.
The two small plates that holds the film holder in place will need to be raised up a little, can be with shims or a little plate but should be easy to make. making this change will however make the gap to large for a normal film holder.

That's a shame ...

I am bringing back to life this old thread as I am interested in getting one of these cameras.

Now that it has been around for a bit, of those who own one, what is your impression?

Thanks,
Eric

It's a decent light-weight camera. The pinhole itself can be taken off and taped to a lensboard if you want to use it with, say, a film holder that's thicker than a normal holder.

The normal film holder just snaps right in, no problem. If you want to use a roll film back then you'll need to shim it so it stays seated under the clips.

While it's a bit bulky because it doesn't fold up, it's easy to toss it into a backpack and make a couple of exposures during lunch or on the way to the bus. Since the exposure time is like 2 seconds at ISO 100, you'll need a little tripod, or something to keep the camera still.
