Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

The best camera for a 47XL is something like a cambo wide, that's what I use for mine.

I'd thought of that too, but are they still being made?

Well there are 7 listed currently on eBay, and 5 of them are listed as new? Other questions?

You may want to look at Cambo.com. They were most recently sold third party through Calumet, so may depend also on inventory from close of Calumet. Seems like I recall that Badger Camera also listed them for sale.

The cambo wide ds is the more recent version that can handle 4x5, but I use the older, original camo wide.

Has anybody gotten a camera yet?

Don't think so. Not even an update for almost 4 weeks. They report in the last update they were still having problems on the 90 helical. As usual any other questions posted to them on Kickstarter comments are ignored or perhaps they no longer check the comments section to see if any new questions have been posted either on the update comments or main page comments. Before they ship these out they have said they will conduct an e-mail survey to confirm shipping address and ask if you want the extra parts to configure the camera to either the 65 or 90. I wish them a speedy resolution to the problems they encounter and of course I am eager to receive my camera. I just wish that they would be more responsive to reasonable questions and concerns of the backers. But I suppose they are as frustrated and tired of the delays as the rest of us.

"The word we got front the manufacturer about the new ground glass samples is that they should be shipping Tues 9th or Wed 10th. They were delayed "due to a widespread power outage" the other week. Because of this they had an extended holiday break. It pushed ALL production back for ALL their clients. I will let you know how the samples look once I have them. We are still working on the helical. More info as we have it."

I can't wait to get mine. I have 2 photo trips planned and wanted to use them as another camera. Better made correctly, than with unresolvable issues.

Why are they putting out updates on Facebook and not via kickstarter?

This shows a lack of caring and respect for those who actually made the project possible.

When you post an update on kickstarter it is pushed out to all those who backed the project. When you post it elsewhere most backers don't get them.

Care and respect can add 20% or more to a price. I'll settle for getting the camera, eventually, when it's right.
