i want to buy a littman camera in Large Format Posted August 8, 2006 Hi Jean, I've been an owner of the Littman for over 5 years. I've owned 2 of them. One of which flew off my scooter and never to be seen again. I was so distraught that I had to get another. The main reason I got it is because of it's portability. I carry it everywhere along with a pack of 4x5 polaroid film and easily fits in a small discrete, non photo looking, shoulder bag. No other 4x5 camera, including a Graflex offer that kind of portability, easy of use, and speed that the L camera offers. That is the price you pay for that uniqueness. I didn't care for sharpness as I mainly just shoot 4x5 polaroids, so I opted for the 127mm Ysarex lens. I don't use strobe either. The other great thing about it are the frame lines are damn acurate. I own a plethora of other cameras, including all the manual Polaroids, Konica Instapress, Rolleis, Panoramics.... but non give me more joy to use than the Littman... I love it. Good luck!
