Getting Excited!!

Ash · 1-Jul-2007, 15:43

I'm nearly there!

If I max out my overdraft, I officially have enough money to buy a RazzleDog 900!

I've been in contact with Dean for a few months now and he has been more than helpful with everything.

So, the money should be transferred this week, and then camera will be mine in the next month or so once it has been manufactured and sent.

Who else here uses a polaroid conversion?
Any tips and tricks I need to watch out for?

Any pics of your own, or taken with your own?

Also, how do you manage to cock and fire the shutter whilst handholding?

Basically any info that I might need to know in preparation for its arrival would be great!

Now I need to start saving for customs/import duties when it arrives!

Hi Ash, what cost was the camera in UK£? I have been looking at the 617 conversion for a while, just need to make that leap as per yourself! actually if I sell all my unused 5x4s I would probably get away with it!!!

Cheers

More than I'd like! No, it was a fair price. You'll have to ask Dean for a specific quote, as it fluctuates with what you would like.

I'm paying a little over what somebody sold their Razzle on here for last month.

Not to burst your bubble Ash, but I read recently where Agent Oakwood with the International Dealings In Overseas Trade Authority raided the RazzleDog plant and confiscated their converter tool - it's a very sad development, seeing how excited you are (were)

Seriously though, you're setting yourself up to make some great images on the fly – have at it!

Lol Eric. Did Agent Oakwood use his much feared Verbal Discombobulator in the raid?

Ash · 1-Jul-2007, 19:25

I was 'fraid that Razzamatazz may have been compromised, but my response emails were surprisingly short!

Good Luck & Have Fun

Thanks

I sent the money in full this afternoon. I'm officially dirt broke!

Within a couple months I should hopefully be quick-shooting 4x5

Gratz Ash..... I've been shooting with my Razzle for almost a year now and it's a pleasure each and every time. PERFECTLY focused and calibrated, and having rented a competitor once it's more than a better bang for the buck (I'm sure much to the dismay of a well known critic).

Make sure and show us some results!!!

I'll be blogging and showing as many photo's as I can take so soon as the camera arrives. Right now all my photo's are on 35mm and 120. I can't wait to take some 4x5 portraits on the fly
