    You seem to be doing very well without taking anyone's advice, there's no reason to start now-
    Thanks!

    Yes! To be honest we made it for fun, just to see how it would work. But once you see the camera and once you are inside it's simply...amazing! There are so many things we have to fix now and there are so many ways we can go to take a picture. We enjoy it a lot. The camera is modular and easy to transport and build.

    I will contact them tomorrow! Thanks!

    Did you mean that:

    "I’m not in the US. Can I fund my project on Kickstarter?
    Currently a US bank account is required to start a project. This is a restriction by Amazon Payments, our payments processor. If you don't have a US bank account and are interested in starting a project, we appreciate your patience (we’re working on it!). Please note that anyone, anywhere (with a major credit card) can pledge to any project on Kickstarter."
    (Quote from kickstarter page)

    Hmm, they write you need an US bank account.
    Not that you need to be american citizen.
    Or is that necessary for an US bank account?

    Maybe there's a branch of an american bank in Italy and they can help?
    When I look at Deutsche Bank and their engagement for photography...
    I think they want to help you

    There is no consensus about Dagors' coverage. Manufacturers' claims have changed over time and users don't agree.

    Goerz' claim is 85 degrees. My friend Eric Beltrando has written a ray-tracing program that he uses to estimate how lenses perform. Using prescriptions from Goerz' patents, he finds that f/6.8 Dagors cover 60 degrees. See www.dioptrique.info

    Other makers made Dagors, for example Berthiot's f/6.8 Perigraphe VI b. In 1912, Berthiot claimed it covered 95 degrees. Between the wars, 85 degrees. In the late 1940s, 65 degrees.

    Buy one and find out for yourself.

    I think a 72" Red Dot will give you just over 1500 mm IC, but try finding one!! That, and your cube would need to be over 6' a side or you can mount the lens a few feet in front and bellows it!
