Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

Just a reminder, we'll be moving all substantive discussion about setting up the camera to the "using and modifying" thread.

We'll leave this thread open for a bit longer as the delivery process still has a while to run.

got mine in New Mexico today.

Got mine today too. Thanks guys. I know it must be a burden off of your shoulders.

Ben, having received and unpacked my camera I want to thank you again for your product. I personally think you did more than you needed to i.e. the extras.

I didn't buy one of these (yet) but have been following this thread for a while and must say, very cool camera and great to see everyone happy with it, congratulations to the fellows that came up with it and built it.

The camera is being delivered. Other Kickstarter projects I've backed that have been held up, even in this thread, as paragons of good management have not yet made it to delivery.

Fact is, all the guys out there with production engineering experience, blah, blah, didn't undertake this project, or come up with the design, or carry it to completion. Furthermore, had they been persuaded to do so, the price would have been higher. It's not like a camera like this breaks any new ground technically--this should have been an easy project and an obvious extension of prior products, such as the Harman pinhole camera.

We should be grateful for amateurs who persist despite the judgements of experts and the setbacks they didn't then know how to avoid, and make things happen that would not have otherwise, just because of their commitment to an idea.

Good, Mods are united. :)

Mine arrived yesterday. Lens installed and ready to go.

Thank you very much Ben and Justin. This is a terrific idea and very, very simple. Love it.

Arrived today. Great design, looks like it will be a go-to camera when feeling wide-ish!

Kudos to the creators and all of us who waited it out: both sometimes gracefully, sometimes not so much.
