Haven't heard od it, but it looks very much like a simple plywood (or
perhaps even pressed wood) box attached to the front of a standard
Polaroid pack film back. The shutter, though well made, seems to be
rudimentary. Buying all the parts for this new (including a laser
drilled pinhole) should cost no more than about $50 US. I don't see the
"linited edition" status adding any value unless the designer is well
known . . . and even then, it's a lot of money for a very plain camera.
 (It is basically the Polaroid cardboard pinhole camera with the
cardboard parts replaced with wood. And the Polaroid version is
overpriced at $100.)
