Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

I would think Ben would be eager to post any good news. Probably waiting for a firm commitment from their mold shop on when and how they will run new focusing collars that fit and work. Although it seem clear that their mold shop is responsible for the off spec parts if there is a dispute over who should pay for this rework then the project could be unfortunately be set back quite a few months.

I've resigned myself to the fact that I won't be taking one with me to Japan in late December. Oh well...

I get the Kickstarter updates. Last one was October 28. Hoping there was some update on either the helical or focusing screen issues.

If there were the update would be posted on the kickstarter page.

I believe they are trying to resolve a conflict as to who is responsible for paying for correcting the bad helical - the manufacturer or themselves. Hope it get resolved soon.

I understood there to be two issues. An issue on the helical, and then the issue on the focus screen where the manufacturer believes it to be a match to the sample, and Wanderlust believing it not to be.

Ben has said they will not delay shipment because of the focus screen.

The only holdup (though it's a big one) is the helical.

Exactly.

I sense his pain.

I wonder if they thought they had some profit built into this project. I bet there's not much of that left.

[Jim Cole]

I think that number is negative now.
