    Poor Man's Polaroid 180

    Anyone who has looked at the prices of these things on eb*y knows how costly they are. I made mine from a plastic Polaroid folder ($5) and the shutter from an MP-3 (part of a lot at an auction, less than $10) The lens is the front two elements from a Rodenstock Ysarex 105mm and the rear element from a 75 mm of the same line (both from the same auction lot). Somehow matches the 114 mm focal length of the folder perfectly. The Polaroid headbadge on the shutter is an added bonus. I will scan some pix taken with it soon.
