'''Razon's camera''' is a device which takes photographs of the past, developed by [[Balubal Razon]] in conjunction with [[Azari Laboratories]]. A second version, capable of using instant film but incapable of looking very far back in time, was re-created based on the first by [[Stephen Leeds]].
== Appearance and Function ==
Razon's original camera appeared to be an ordinary [[wikipedia:medium format|medium format]] camera.{{book ref|legion|7}} Stephen's recreation was a big, old-school camera, the kind used by news photographers decades ago, so presumably similar.{{book ref|legion3|2}}

The camera uses a special kind of flash bulb which allows it to do some form of pseudo-science and take images of scenes as they were in the past.

In order to re-create the camera, Stephen works with a new aspect he manifested just for this purpose, [[Arnaud]].{{book ref|legion|8}} Stephen spends many nights working on it, with Arnaud guiding his hands. By the time he went chasing after [[Sandra]], Stephen has a working model, although it can't go back very far before the photos begin to deteriorate in quality. Arnaud was unsure how Balubal got around this limitation.{{book ref|legion3|2}} Later that day, Stephen gave it to [[Barb]] to take photos of the fairgrounds going back half-hours earlier that day, revealing the presence of [[Kyle]] and [[Sandra]].{{book ref|legion3|5}} The camera is left in Stephen's limo while Stephen infiltrates [[Wode|Walters and Ostman Detention Enterprises]], and afterwards, Stephen used it to take a picture in which he (but no-one else) can see his aspects.{{book ref|legion3|14}}
