    The suspense is killing me!

    Is anyone else waiting for their Chamonix to arrive sometime in August? I've been fortunate enough to get my name on the list at the end of May, so the wait hasn't been too long for me, but even still, the suspense is killing me!

    It would have been nice to have a LF camera to play with during the down time, but this is my first camera in this territory.

    Gaahh!

    I was told by Hugo that the expected ship date is July 25th, EMS from China. I figured I wouldn't start harassing him until Aug.1. I find it helpful to go out scouting with the digital camera to pass the time.

    I've got one coming in this shipment too. The last update I saw from Hugo was that the target ship date was now early/mid August, but not later than August 15th, so July 25 (today?) shipment would be a pleasant surprise. I've been on the list since March. If I didn't have the darkrom project to keep me occupied, I would have had a harder time with the wait, so it hasn't been too bad. But of course, the darkroom is taking longer than I had hoped, so the camera will arrive before I can do much of anything with it. Looks like I'll have a bit of time to get to know it before I can really take it out for a spin. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh rather than having to stare longingly at pics of them on the internet. Soon enough, I guess.

    I have just received the word from the factory that the shipping will be early next week. I will get the EMS tracking number for everyone on the list once the cameras are shipped.

    Thanks.

    Kurt,
    Have you thought at all about Fuji Instant Print? Megaperls may still have a used PA-45 for sale. I just bought one from Dirk and he shipped right away, was very easy to deal with. Just a thought.

    Thanks Hugo! I was just going to e-mail you about tracking information.

    Now that the ship date is getting even closer, the suspense is getting greater. I'm going to drive up to Freestyle in a few days to pick up some sheet film

    Hugo,

    Are the cameras going to be shipped directly to the purchasers? I assume they will be since you mentioned EM - Express Mail.

    Thanks,
