I realized over the holidays that I have had my Alpenhaus conversion for a year now. I was snapping away Fujiroids and thought about this thread. And here it is again!
Anyway, if you are not shooting instant film, and/or you have a panic attack if you can't use movements, and/or you are permanently attached to your tripod and f/32 on ISO 25 film, these cameras aren't for you. I really invite some of y'all that own these and aren't using them to either a) shoot some Fujiroid, it's only like 75 cents a shot, and you have an instant print!! or b) sell your cameras so someone who'll actually use it can get their hands on these wonderful tools!!
Right now I've shot like 200 Fujiroids. I've made precious family heirlooms both for my family and others. People can't believe the quality of image you can deliver immediately, and with a cool old camera to boot. Plus it's fun. I've made it well known that
I'm a little crazy, and willing to shoot 4x5 unconventionally (in our time). Why not take risks? Shoot some real film in that Razzle. Make some memories. Can anyone really say they've taken their digital p&s shots and printed them up even? I mean, at $500 for a nice p&s, I could shoot 600 Fujiroids, and with digital you still gotta pay $0.19 for a 4x6 at Walgreens!
I wonder if Frank is still watching this thread
