The camera is great, but what I wanted to do with it just takes too much film and too long to scan and it's not happening for me. For those who don't know, the Littman 45 is a true handheld 4x5 camera with a rangefinder built into the optical viewfinder. It's the nearest thing there is to a 4x5 leica. I did a load of tests and the RF is dead-on accurate, and the lens is very sharp when stopped down past f/8. Wider than that it has amazing bokeh. Details of the camera are here: http://www.littman45single.com/ This one I am selling is the one with the 127mm Ysarex (a truly wonderful lens) and I took the ground-glass back option. It's exactly as delivered to me from William Littman himself. I am going to throw in a Pelican case with foam cutouts for the camera and filmholders (it's BIG). Contact me for price and any other details.
