<p>Whoops!! -- Wrong photo.<br>
I have elected to dabble with the Polaroid Pack film cameras as well and have come up with some ideas that may or may not hold water.<br>
1. The focal length of the original pack cameras can be tampered with by drilling new hole(s) in the focusing slide arm assembly. By locating holes to the left of the original hole, you can effectively cause the bellows forward extension to be shortened accordingly.<br>
2. Will the "curve" of the rangefinder/lens relationship be significantly altered and throw the focus off?<br>
3. Removing the front half of the lens/shutter sandwich of the orginal pack and then grinding the back half level provides the ability to mount a front standard from a 23 graphic and thereby accommodate interchangeable lenses.<br>
