We do—I'm reserving some to go into sets with the last remaining cameras, but I think there will be extras. I'll do a full accounting of our inventory in the new year!

We do—I'm reserving some to go into sets with the last remaining cameras, but I think there will be extras. I'll do a full accounting of our inventory in the new year!
Thanks y'all! It was a fun project, and it came directly from discussions on this forum. Not to hijack the thread, but I'll have some updates soon—there is a small amount of Travelwide inventory and...
Hi all, the tiny black-on-black markings are indeed in meters. :)
If your helical tightens up, it is a humidity issue. Vinyl is not a great material unfortunately, but we learned that a bit too...

No. 10A Century Studio Camera on its No. 1A Semi-Centennial Stand
After shooting with this camera for about 10 years (thanks, Eddie!), I finally took...
The base side of film doesn't need agitation, but regardless, it's clear from the video that there's turbulence throughout the chamber... But some E6 samples would answer this question pretty...
I do think they should post some examples (especially in E6), but seeing the food coloring test, I'm convinced. But with that said, there are a lot of different agitation styles, and you can't please...
Keep in mind, they save some things for their eBay store... to get the fullest picture, check out their eBay selection as well as keh.com!
That would be true, except that no one uses decimals with feet—it would be odd to see "5.3 feet"... It's almost always feet and inches, which ends being 5' 4", and that just takes up more space. It's...
I wish we could offer both, but honestly, metric works best for cameras… A meter marking with one decimal place is 3X more accurate than feet, and more compact that listing feet and inches.
In any...
We're going in order, but broken up by product groups and Domestic/International. So some orders above 1000 have shipped, and some orders under 100 have yet to ship. With that said, we only have 62...
The SA is pretty light. I don't mind carrying the ƒ/8 all day. The Angulon is absolutely featherweight, but you have to put up with slightly soft corners.
Steve, I'll have to look up the data we...
Hey, were you the guy I talked to about the Travelwide? I was there that day at Pão de Açúcar—I recognize those clouds!
Tony, you probably won't be able to see an image of the GG. Pinhole photographers get good at visualizing the field of view and framing by eye. Some pinhole cameras even have two lines on the top...
SO… AWESOME.
And Mark is now officially the Spielberg of LF unboxing videos.
Drew, great thoughts! All of these options are on our radar. Right now, 3D printing is just a terrible process. It might become viable as a production mechanism sometime in the next 5-10 years, but...
CNC is the way to go for something like this. Exciting! I'd love to see some photos.
Nice! I like the hand strap!
:D Absolutely gorgeous, Wojtek. This is what I was hoping for when I first sketched this camera. I'm speechless!
Just to clarify, we will 100% be producing an improved focusing screen. We'll make it available for free + shipping to all current backers and pre-order customers, and all future orders will ship...
Awesome! Great first shot!!
Interesting… I'll be curious to see the price and the helical option.
Steve, good news about the BPnS, but you don't need to worry about pulling the tripod thread out of the camera—it's insert molded directly into the plastic. I think you might be able to pull it out...
SO. COOL. From the beginning, we wanted people to be able to modify and extend the camera, so this makes me so happy.
When we have a bit more bandwidth, I'd like to have a "Hack the Travelwide"...
It's conceivable that 110 would let you hit infinity, depending on the lens, but you won't have much room to focus closer unfortunately. The 120 is more of a stretch.
Bryan, I can't wait to see the results! You'll have to weigh in on how the 90XL compares. Do you have a Super Angulon to play with too?
I just found a 101mm Graflex Optar in a drawer… It won't...
Oh, very strange. I'm struggling to picture it! I would say, unscrew the retaining rings and then reinstall the whole assembly?
- Take off the focus indicator grip (rubber).
- Unscrew the...
Jim, sounds like you broke the retaining collars. They should give some resistance when you rack past infinity. But you keep twisting, you'll snap the tabs. Basically, you shouldn't have to force...
Not true! The dark slide slot doesn't let in much light—but I've taped over it anyway.
The only downside is that the film is exposed within the camera between shots—so you have to be careful not...
OMG :eek: It fits!! Is the rear element really tight in the helical?
Happy to see that it arrived okay! And this is good to know.
Yeah, the distance markings were a challenge. We could have pad printed them, but then they could rub off.
I find that a white china marker is helpful to keep track of a handful of distances. When...
Haha, I love it. If you want to go full Spielberg, you have to start with the reaction shot.
I think you could milk that for a full minute before you even show the box.
Sorry to stir the pot, mods! I'll try to set a better example.
Just so this message isn't a total waste, here's a Fuji FP-3000B negative that I recently washed and scanned, showing some...
So from what I understand, you have experience working with well-equipped teams in tightly regulated markets.
Have you ever poured thousands of hours of work and tens of thousands of dollars of...
You've done a project more difficult than this?
Name it.
Thanks for the support!
10/28 will be the actual shipping date (fingers crossed)—that's the earliest we could schedule a pickup. Once you have a few hundred pounds of cameras, they don't want you just dropping them at the...
IANAL… but…
A trademark is only valid as long as it's actively used—unlike a copyright, which has its own lifespan. So no one really "owns" the right to a defunct trademark, even if there are...
I don't think it's a problem—it's very difficult to notice slight shifts. In fact, the film can shift back and forth a millimeter or two in some holders. By the way, retaining rings can often be...
Shame about the Grafmatic and Horseman… I didn't have either on-hand when I was designing the camera, otherwise I might have tried to devise a different system for the spring back.
FWIW, it seems...
It is—I thought Globegistic's tracking number would update when it actually left the country, but it looks like the last update you'll see is "Shipment in Transit to Destination."
The actual...
