Hi Mike:

Got it. The workmanship is superb, and it the best mount I have ever
seen! There is absolutely no way for any dirt or dust to enter the
helicoids. Thanks so much, I will try to post some pictures this
weekend.

I will certainly recommend you to my friends.

Best regards,

Stephen
 

The camera is arrived today. All is perfect. You are a very good kraftman, an artist. Thank you very much. I am very proud that you accept to make a camera for me. The express mail was not a good idea, but I have found a solution with the customs. Thank you to have send me the invoice so quickly.

Hi Mike

Hi Michael,
I have been playing with the Graflok 110B conversion that you did for 
me and I am impressed.

Dear Mike, 

I received both lenses in good condition. Your work is excellent, I am fully satisfied. By the way, would you be interested in modifying still another lens for me?

Best regards,

Hi Mike,

I returned to NYC and the camera was waiting for me. Thanks very much. I am impressed by your workmanship, and the test Polaroids look good.

Thanks again,

As a cinematographer, it is valuable to judge the contrast range in a shot along with the overall exposure.
The Polaroid camera allows me to judge this range much more precisely than with the naked eye.
Michael's modification to the 110a Polaroid I use is outstandingly detailed. It truly is obvious how much he cares about the quality of his work.
I highly recommend his cameras.
Sincerely,

I recently had Michael convert a Polaroid 110B for me and I am nothing less than impressed. I've seen conversions performed by some of the more well known companies and I can honestly say that this camera is the cleanest that I have seen and performs beautifully. Michael Batelman takes much pride in his work and stands behind it 100%. He is also a pleasure to deal with and very informative with any questions that I had. I recommend him highly and would personally call him first for any of my photographic needs. Thanks again Michael.

Michael sold me a 110B that he had converted on EBay, and the camera is wonderful. It has solid metal parts unlike the more common plastic backs used by others. It's a great camera. Thanks.

Two weeks ago I asked Michael to add a pentaprism finder to my twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera. This was an unusual request that was refused by a dozen other repair facilities in the U.S.A. as being "impractical". Not only did Michael do the job at a very reasonable price but he also cleaned the whole finder system and added a synchronization lever lock at no extra charge. His workmanship is superb and he completed the job exactly by the time he promised. I plan to keep Michael very busy with other items in my camera collection which will require work. Thank you Michael!

Great work michael.. its a snappy, light, easy to use 4x5, and that ole' lens is GREAT! David Burnett Contact Press Images www.davidburnett.com

Hi Michael, very nice site! Great to see your Polaroid conversions and your obvious eye for detail. I`m sure it`s not only the old Polars that benefit from your efforts, but the fact that those in the past who enjoyed them are still able to do so. Cheers, from Australia, Dean Jones (razzledog).

Hi
It truly shows how much you care about
your work, down to the finishing touches. Thank you.
I'll use this camera for "proofing" setups for cinematography, and I
will definitely tell my peers about them.
My best,

Kent

Michael-

the camera is mint.  you did an amazing job.  I've seen other conversions.
and this is definitely the nicest.  I'm trying to leave feedback but I don't
have the item number on file anymore and they won't except feedback without
it.  if you still have it please send it to me so I can do that for you. 
I'll recommend you highly when next I hear of someone wanting a conversion.

thanks again-
keith

Hi Michael.

The lens and shutter arrived in good shape yesterday.

Nice job!  I can hardly believe that is the same piece of junk that I sent to you.

Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.

Don.

Hi Mike

The conversion is very nice - beautiful professional job.
Thank you.
I tested it last week and it all worked fine.  i will send some images
when i can scan them into the computer.
I would recommend your work to anyone looking for this unique
conversion.

Best
Sion
