Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

[Drew Bedo]

In any case; I'd like to buy a camera. I was too timid to be an initial backer and wasn't paying attention when the larger pre-order was available. All my fault.

I think its great how patient, understanding and supportive this forum is to this effort.

My apologies to the fellows. I did not mean to imply that they could not get a camera built. In reviewing my comment, it was intended as a buffer to the previous post.

I meant that we could be receiving tons of feedback (which based on the 210 pages of just this forum) thereby leaving the creators less time to get the camera's done. Me, I'd much rather have the camera's done.

I fully trust that most people support the project, as well as trust that the fellows in charge are doing their best. Based on the feedback I have seen... no contact is better than worthless contact. I say that because almost every time there is a glitch that delays the program, we get reports in a very timely manner. I'm pretty laid back on all this because the $200 I am in for was nothing more than a gamble when I laid it down. I've left more than that on the tables in Vegas or Reno in just a few hours.

I say, If you can't afford the risk... don't walk into the casino.

Also, I have a life outside of the receipt of two Travelwides. I have no problem staying busy. I've been in photography long enough to remember when we used to wait 2-3 years for the next model of a new SLR from the main manufacturers in the industry.

I think this project has flown well, and I am only interested in reports that either hinder the project, or advance the project. Nothing in between is of any value to me.

They'll ship when they have all the pieces in their possession and they have checked our addresses. I don't care if I hear anything more until they check with me on where to send the two camera's.

Take a break from the whining... there are cool streams out there and fish to catch. Plenty of other stuff to do as well.

And fella's, thanks for taking this on. Looking forward to using the new Travelwides.......or, ??????????

Who's whining?

Although my initial participation in the individual Kickstarter programs were separate in time, it looks as if I will be getting my Travelwide, my Intrepid and my New55 film all very close to each other. Kind of neat.

Looks like the final helicals have been run and just have to be delivered. Shouldn't be long now.

I have been looking into flocking myself and found telescope flocking to be a choice for me for a box camera.

I plan to attend the party and pickup!

First New55 and now Wanderlust ! It's a good time to be a large format photographer

Randy, check out National Velour. They're extremely responsive, and they have a digital cutting process with no setup fees. Plus, "National Velour" is just a fantastic name. It sounds like a magazine for vintage kitsch enthusiasts.

Whoopee! And for ye of little faith, as Brother Dave Gardner (for those of us old enough to remember) once said " Let those who don't want any have memories of not getting none" (or words to that effect.)

Too far away to attend the party, so I'll just wait for the package to arrive. Should only be another two months or so from the information in this last update.
