Just saw the update on KS, what great news!! Now if only I could get mine before the last weekend in September...I'd have quite a use for it!
Hi guys!
We're outside Detroit at Xcentric, and they're beginning to run our parts. Here's a little portrait of the bits and bobs:

That's the indicator ring, Pinwide lens cap, and an internal retaining ring. We decided to do the indicator ring, Pinwide body and Pinwide lens cap in rubber. Rubber gives the indicator ring a nice grippy feeling, which will be nice for adjusting focus. Here's another view of the indicator ring.

Also pictured above is our custom etched pinhole disk which will be insert molded into the Pinwide (embedded in the plastic). Here's another view:

We also made some adjustments to the sport finder—dialing in the fit, and rounding some of the corners.

Tomorrow they're running the 65mm front plate, so we'll have that to show too. It's so cool to see these parts go from idea to reality!
I love getting these updates Ben, thanks:)
Looking good! Thanks for the update, Ben.
Wow, thanks for the update Ben. Can't wait to see the looks from the local hipsters when this old man starts working with 4X5. I've already tried out my 90 angulon at 1mm fixed extention on a homebuilt 4X5 box camera. That gives me the lens focused at 27ft with DOF from 13.5 ft. to infinity at f6.8 and works fairly good even as a fixed focus snapshot camera.
Thought I had everything rounded up for the upcoming TravelWide 90 but realized that I still needed a shoulder bag.
I'm thinking the camera and 6 to 9 film holders. Looking for ideas for a bag that has a long enough strap to go over the shoulder, bandolier style. Soft side with minimal padding. Removeable strap is preferable. Any suggestions or ideas much appreciated. Perhaps unrealistic but I hope to keep total price under $50 including shipping.
Check for a bag in the lunch bags and small coolers area. I have a cooler bag that's rectangular and perfectly holds a Hasselblad and a couple of extra backs, plus has a second insulated pocket on the front. The strap is long enough on me to go across my body and over a shoulder. The insulation gives it some padding. But I bought the bag several years ago.
I'm just curious how you'll get our addresses for the shipping when that happens? I just moved, so any address you may have printed out at the end of the thing on kickstarter will no longer apply.
And I'm still looking for an Angulon at a reasonable price, if anyone has one stashed and isn't going to auction it.
I use cooler and lunch bags all the time, a little stealth never hurts.
Almost forgot again, but NO! we need a reminder...
A lunch cooler! Never even thought of that. Available and cheap and non-discript enough to not draw attention. Thanks.
Bethe, I'd also look for a 90mm f8 Super Angulon. They are more expensive but seem more available. I grabbed a f6.8 Angulon with dogy optics but a good shutter for $100 and took a chance that it would be "good enough". I tested it out on a fixed focus plywood box camera and it seems OK, but of course I don't have a pristine sample to compare it to.
Hey, nice site. I especially liked the hand colored flowers.
Thanks to all,
John R.
