I'm in for a 90- I've got a caltar 90 6.8 sitting around unused to put on it. Best of luck on reaching the kick starter goal!
Cheers,

I'm also in for a 90...with a Grandagon 6.8.
Well done, looks great- good luck with the rest of the campaign-
Great service to large format film photography too, particularly the price point- it's the perfect gateway drug...
Looks like a shure thing now with more than $50 000 raised in less than a week. A fun and inexpensive camera to use.
Tell everyone, spread the word.
They still need 250 more backers.
It's far from a done deal! Pre-orders have definitely leveled off. Now more than ever we need to get the word out. Tell everyone! :)
Thanks again for everyone's support. If this thing succeeds, it will be thanks to the LFF community.
I have signed up for one and plan on signing up for another. I can always sell the second one later and $200 still is cheap.
Actually and optimistically, the top 7 pledge slots would take this over the top... 5X3,000 and 2x10,000 is $35,000, with a "fudge factor" of $10000 to make the deal work. GET THE WORD OUT TO WEALTHY ECCENTRICS WITH PHOTOGRAPHY AS A HOBBY.
Hmmmm... does anyone know what Gates and Zuckerman do in their spare time, or for recreation, other than donate money... Hmmmmn again...how about that???
Me... I'm telling everyone I know from whom I have personally been able to borrow a $100 bucks from at one time or another.
I am taking this link to our local camera club meeting of 120 fairly active meeting. I also know many of the professional photographers here in town, and tomorrow I will go through the phone book and send the kickstarter link to all the photographers in town, of course indicating my pledge and dissavowing any monetary link with the project. I will be sending the link to the NewSpace Center for Photography in Portland Oregon, as well as to ProPhoto Supply in Portland. They process all formats of film. Another link will go to U-Develop-Lab on Barbur Blvd between Portand and Beaverton. I used to drive (140miles) there monthly as a member to develop and print my own film in their labs. Many Many photographers in Portland and surrounding areas use U-Develop. Market, Market, Market.... if you want this to happen. I do what I call skull thumping for ideas. 30 years in corporate and Non Profit marketing can't hurt. Think about it... who do you know.
Pledged, plus $40 for shipping to the UK. I've got my Linhof branded Angulon 90/6.8 ready to rock. It's serial number indicates a late 1963 model (according to Schneider) and it's mounted in a synchro shutter which I'm testing with audacity - it's more or less bang on! Happy days are (nearly) here!
I've promoted the project to my FB network. I'll have a think about what else I can do to help.

It seems to me that we're going to have a hard time finding a wealthy eccentric to put up the cash. How about targeting some art schools? We have to pull in the Holga crowd.
