Great if you're on that list, but as a later buyer I don't get squat. How about telling instead of teasing?
Yes, got the email update. Looks like they are getting closer. Good news.

hmmm I didn't get it either-not in my spam file either.
Thanks Oren.
Got the mail.
Eager to get them~
Oops, found it.
Essentially it says there was a difference in size between the prototype helical and the delivered helical that still needs to be worked out, possibly re-manufactured. That seems to have been the reason for the sticking helical, not warm weather as they originally thought.
The frosted plastic is still not perfect, but they will ship with what they have when they get the helical sorted. I would guess we are still months rather than weeks away, but they do have everything else stacked up in their studio, so when they get this sorted they can ship.
No worries!
And when they have the screen's texture worked out, they'll send it to us at no cost. Still have fingers crossed that I'll get one before I leave for Japan in December!!Quote:

Ben, is correct as to the focus screen. I plan to use the focus screen to set the focus and then put it away. In fact I don't even need it, in my case, and can use the ground glass assembly from a Crown Graphic.
