Ian, yes you have to be fast.
I hadn't seen that little video, it does show off some of the cameras he has modified, as well as ones he has manufactured from scratch.
The 4x5 Toyo monorail he pointed to on the cabinet, is for sale in the shop where he works, I had a look at it on Saturday morning, wouldn't mind having it, especially as he has added his Razzle back, which I thing is quite good.

Mick, you're making me jealous I might have to save a bit of cash and get a Razzle, so much easier and practical than using a Speed or Crown Graphic hand-held, which I'm doing at the moment.

Ian, yes it does hurt when you realise that there is something possibly better than what you are using now, just waiting for your decision to obtain it.
I just realised there was another thing I received with the camera, a ground glass focusing screen inserted into a pulled apart and put back together Lisco DDS. This is used to check and/or correct the rangefinder.
If you do decide to go this route, I would suggest the grafmatic back is the way to go. With dean's back the grafmatic is secure and doesn't move one iota as you pull and push the internal units back and forth.
Besides, just how hand holdable is a camera if you have to find somewhere to put the dark slide when you are about to shoot!
A dark slide is a pain, even with a tripod mounted camera.

I'm also a fan of Grafmatics and Kinematics, but on Technikas and Graphics there is usually a clip on the focusing hood where you can slip the darkslide, if you use standard holders.
