I am anxiously waiting the arrival of my new CHROMA 4x5 Camera!
Anyone on this Forum purchase and receive their camera yet?
I would be very interested in your impressions and feedback.
Thanks!

Purchase, yes.
Receive, no.
I'm number 99 on the Kickstarter, out of, I think, about 150. Originally Chroma suggested that the camera might be delivered by last November (2018). Now it's July 2019 and hope is fading for being able to use it this summer.
I'm a fan of Steve's, but production updates have been few and far between. Even when asked directly, he hasn't been willing to say how many cameras he's produced, or what order number he's working on, or give any kind of guess about when a camera might ship.
I think the Chroma might be a better camera than the Intrepid (One of which I bought also.) but I'm pretty disappointed by the lead time and the lack of communication.

Oops, I was sort of wrong. I went and checked Chroma's kickstarter page, and there's a new update.
Apparently Steve will have left his day job in about a week, and he hopes to have all the kickstarter cameras done by the end of August (2019)
