THANKS TO ALL OF YOU !!!!!! We really appreciate your support and help in sending us over the top so soon! Still 18 days to hit the stretch goals:)
TRAVELWIDE will be made!!!!
This is awesome news. I am really looking forward to receiving mine! Talk to Freestyle. I'll bet they will have you squirt a few more bodies through that mold!
Pretty excited. Just bought a coated 90mm Raptar to go with my Travelwide. Don't forget about these, they are the same as the 90mm Optars.
Congrats Ben and Justin,
Great Kickstarter project! I never had so much fun with a camera that isn't even built yet. :)
Over $75K--it really happened! Congratulations Ben and Justin!
Gents, congratulations! Is there a limit of quantity you can produce?Quote:

Maybe this is just the start of a whole new line, imagine 5X7 Point and shoot!
Maybe LF film sales will jump.
Better start hoarding film...
Someone said something about 8x10 which is pretty outrageous for hand holding but 5x7 might not be too bad at all.Quote:

I just ordered myself one of those cheapie viewfinders on eBay. I had been holding off until I was sure the camera was funded. I opted for 28mm which will be a virtual match in the long dimension and not show quite as much as the 90mm lens will record in the shorter dimension. This seemed best to me because everything I see in the viewfinder should be on the film, and a bit more. I can always crop in printing if I want, but I can't add back to the image so this seemed better to me than one that showed slightly too much.
Now for a Blik rangerfinder...
