    Makes perfect sense to me!

    Also, this camera is not really designed for heavy lenses that are changed frequently. The lens mounting plate appears to be plastic, and the focus helical certainly is. A really heavy lens might require external support, deform the mounting, or bind the helical.

    Hi Larry. I'm a new member that just signed on to LFF, mainly because of this new camera. I've seen your posts over at P-net. I'm in for the 90mm version of this camera and very interested to see it's success. It is a little disturbing to see only 19 more people join in the last 24 hours, hope it does not portend a major slow down in backers.

    Hello Zuiko,
    Welcome to the massive thread that everyone is afraid to read. ;-) Glad you could join the effort. I'm not affiliated with the designers, I'm just an enthusiastic supporter. So, they need 127 more $99 pledges to get the $75k, or about 6 a day for the next 22 days. Seems doable but it could still require some marketing work. Where else can this be publicized?

    This might be a stretch, but might small niche retailers give this a pitch, or would it tick off their current suppliers?

    Freestyle Photo
    Bostick & Sullivan
    Photographers Formulary

    etc....

    They may have good reasons not to, but it would be supportive of their film and chemical sales...

    Good morning to Larry and David.
    Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing too. Where else can we publicize this. I agree that some retailers would have a vested interest in seeing this become true. Seven hundred more 4X5 cameras! That could translate to a lot of film sales. Got to think about this some more.

    I'm in for a 65. Ben, at what distance is the focus set?

    Pierre - I assume you booked them through different accounts? I believe Kickstarter does not let you pledge more than once, as Rick "annoyed at nearly missing out on #1" Denney found out.
