The options are.... |
|
|
|
There are many available options to the Razzle 4x5. Starting with the bodies, there's the 110B style. The 110B has the identical
rangefinder to the 900, but the distance between the front standard and the front door when closed is only around 20mm. This means that when lens/shutter assemblies other than the original 127mm Rodenstock are
installed the front element must be removed to allow the camera to close. Further differences between the two styles of camera also lie in the construction of the front standard and focusing bed/mechanism. The
900 offers a distance of approximately 30mm between the front standard and door, due to the different design. This allows later lens types such as Sironar N, APO Sironar, Fujinon W (early type) and others to be
fitted without such removal. The 110A (and the similar Japanese 120 model) must be fitted with the 110B/900 type rangefinder assembly in order to accomodate the 4x5 frame. The advantage of the 120 is that it's
fitted with a Seiko shutter capable of 1/500th of a second shutter speed ( the Prontor stops at 1/300th) and provision for a very small aperture of f90. The lens fitted to the 120 is a Yashinon 127mm f4.7 four
element type that easily equals the performance of the Rodenstock Ysarex found on the 110A/B. So now for the options.....please note that a slip in ground glass screen is included with all cameras, as well as a left
hand cable release socket and cable with all 900 conversions. |

Interchangeable Back System |
|
|
|
Interchangeable back system includes one back (complete with slip in ground glass screen) of your choice. Razzlok 4x5 back 1
suits most holders and is supplied with adapters to hold most roll film backs (i.e. Horseman, Singer Graflex etc) and pack film holders that use type 665/667 Fuji FP100 film....I can also supply adapters for the thicker
holders such as the Grafmatic and Fuji holders that use 4x5 instant film. Razzlok 2 is my very compact 4x5 back that only accepts standard double dark holders and the slip in ground glass screen. It is non adjustable
and very fast in operation...the most simple and lightweight of all backs! Razzlok 3 is similar to the Razzlok 1 but is special order and only accepts the Grafmatic holder when you need fast interchangeability of the
holder. |

|
What you can do... |
|
|
|
Remember you can supply a suitable body if you wish...in the case of the 110A the saving would be $150US. If you already have a 110B
the saving would amount to $250US. If you have a 900, this will save you $100US. The 900 will only function with a 150mm lens, whereas the 110B can be fitted with a 90mm (Angulon f6.8) a great choice for wide angle
street shooting and allows closure without a problem. You can also have a 135 or 150mm lens fitted, but remember this will require the front element be unscrewed each time you close the camera. The
Geronar 150mm f6.3 is very compact and does not require removal of the front element when fitted to a 110B. |

Other options |
|
|
|
Other options include modifications to alternative models such as the 95 and 110 series non rangefinder models. The fitting of
alternative backs such as Horseman, Graflok, Cambo and others can be discuseed, just let me know...... |

The waiting list |
|
|
|
I guess the most difficult step in obtaining a Razzle is the wait......I constantly attract a large list of LF followers and I
endeavour to get their cameras (some guys have five Razzles!) completed ASAP, but the seven year old venture is strictly a part time one.....hopefully that may change in the near future......You will be required to
exhibit a substantial amount of patience, self control, tenacity, understanding and good humour when ordering and if you fail to get an answer to your queries, please keep trying....I sometimes get quite swamped with
requests.....as there seems an ever increasing demand for hand held LF cameras in this so called digital age! |
