Re: $5 estate sale find...
Now that brings back memories. Not sure if its the same model. But looks
like the camera my Dad had when I was young.

Hey Brian, they have Dianas on Ebay all the time. They usually sell for around $40 or so. Dianas went by a lot of other names too, you know. Check out this link of you haven't seen it yet: http://www.toycamera.com/cam/diana.html.
I've never heard of a Fujipet, but did a quick search and found this: http://members.cox.net/sjrohde7/
Now that's a cool/cute looking camera. Pictures are somewhat holga like too!

I know about Diana's Ray, I think they are a bit too expensive for my tastes.
That's why I am saying if you ever come across one or a Fujipet, at a yardsale, please remember me!
Fujipet's are considered to be rare, especially the red one. I have seen Fujipet's go for as much as $200 on EBay.

Re: $5 estate sale find...
Are you going to do the 4 by 5 film back conversion?
Re: $5 estate sale find...
I'm not sure yet, freygr. I was seriously thinking about a 120 conversion today but the more I look at it the more it seems too involved. Not only that, I was thinking how much more cost effective 120 film is than 4x5, but the conversion itself to 120 would probably be more than I want to spend right off the bat. Oh dilemma!
As it stands now, the camera will accept a single 4x5 sheet with no modification. Problem is, every time you wish to take a photo you have to change the film under total darkness, just like the old days.
The razzledog 4x5 conversion looks pretty neat, I must say. I don't know if he does conversions for the 95A or even what is entailed in the conversion, but I emailed him and am awaiting a response.
