Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

[Ben Syverson]

(snip) What about a plastic Grafmatic to go along with the P&S?

Now there's an interesting idea! That's a Kickstarter project just waiting to happen.

I would actually love to do a custom 90mm too... The sticking point is the expense of wholesaling Copal shutters.

[Kuzano]

Lighten up, Kuzano. The world doesn't revolve around your ingrate arse.

You are not the only one who has complimented me on my grate ass. Thank you so much for your insight and wisdom? How very adult of you.

I like it a lot myself.

[John NYC]

Lastly, the two listings impuning my marketing skills (John and Roger) were both rather childlike and moronic, revealing more about your lack of knowledge in marketing skils, than my own deficiencies.
.

I don't think you get how funny this comment of yours actually is. You are calling me a moron.

Guys, sheesh. Look at what Ben achieved by doing a bit of crowd-sourcing--he now has a catalog of every usable lens including its flange focal distance, even for lenses not that uncommon but for which there is no online data.

He also has a good idea of the various ways people might use such a camera.

And he knows that there is a bit more interest in the 90 than the 65 version.

In return for getting this information, he has made many of us feel as though we are part of the process, stakeholders rather than mere customers.

The apologies that are owed are by those who have rewarded Ben's openness by being uncivil in there demands on how the product is designed or marketed.

Well said, Rick.

I'm in for the 90mm version, whenever it is available.

[Steve Smith]

Well said, Rick.

Agreed.

I'm in for the 90mm version, whenever it is available.

I'm not in the market for it in any variety as I like to make things myself but I certainly appreciate being shown the design and being asked to comment on it.


Steve.

[David Aimone]

Oy! Sign me up for a 90mm and I think a website is an important piece of marketing for a niche product. There are many items that I wouldn't own had I not found their website through a search (zero image camera, photobackpacker, and many more...)

[Tony Karnezis]

"I'd like a show of hands please on anyone who is making a profitable income on any product with a web site alone.... that's without the benefit of tons of effort on other means of reaching the target market."

I am: gordy's camera straps

And I want one of these. 90mm. I'll wait.

Ditto. Love your straps, Gordy.

[Ben Syverson]

Well, good news and bad news. The bad news is that the 3D printing material we used isn't 100% light tight, so the test shots have all been coming back fogged. But at least we know the cause now. I'll wrap the camera in a dark cloth and see if I can take a few non-fogged test shots.

The good news is that we've added three cold shoes and a tripod thread, and ordered a second prototype. We've also made a number of cosmetic and functional changes based on the first prototype. If this second one looks good, we'll use this file to get an initial quote!

[Steve Goldstein]

Looks good, thanks for adding the cold shoes.
