I have just received the word from the factory that all 45N-1 orders except those few who requested late shipping were shipped today by EMS. Over the weekend, I will send the tracking information to each of you who is due to receive your camera.

Awesome...
I can't wait.
wow, christmas comes early :)
(closes door to office--does little dance) Thanks Hugo, that's great news. I'm looking forward to the Cham and starting off in large format.
Ohhh.... fantastic ... :D now if it would quit raining so I can try the thing out.
Wow.... fantastic ... that's great news
the sheet film are ready :D
So who else is already sitting by the door waiting for the postman ? :D
Mine's not here yet - are you sure they shipped today?

Sweeeet... All I have to do now is tell the wife I'm getting a new camera and wait for 'The Look'. If all I get is 'The Look' then I'll be extremely lucky. The next time I'm on here I might be typing in a high pitch voice...
I'm chuffed, really chuffed, but I'm also very scared!
Glad the Chamonix guy's got these out the door so they can start messing around with the bigger stuff :D
I can't wait till I get my hand on the 45, unfortunately if I get on with the design/style I will probably go for something larger. There's only so many things the wife can cut off isn't there...
Lucky for me, my wife's father is a photographer and she totally gets me.
I love her sooooooooo much.
I am so, so so excited about getting this in the mail soon...!
Man O man I can hardly wait - might have to set up a tent next to the letter box :)
Chris.
any idea how long it takes to ship from china to the states? is it a week, two weeks? longer?
In case anyone may be interested, I just tried the EMS tracking number using Safari as a browser, and got an error page; a subsequent attempt with Firefox worked fine.
just looked at my tracking.. seems to be on the plane heading across the pond now.
On Safari - use the drop down menu under track rather than the one on the front page. This worked fine ...Quote:

I can tell you that EMS from Taiwan takes 4 days to the US.
My 45N-1 has made the arduous journey from HAINING to HANGZHOU. Not that far really, but as the say--the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Mine's on the same boat, Barry.
Just relax guys, they will get there and you will be as pleased as well ....... or just in awe at the craftmanship. When I first got mine, not the 4x5 mind you, but i couldn't keep my hands off of it!!!! I'll keep an eye for the posts as they come in. Congrats in advance.

So I guess now is the right time to tell you all that my Chamonix is virtually falling apart!
He-he, just kidding! :D It`s still rocks, the best (inexpensive) 4x5 ever.
Merry X-mas to everyone.
Bad, Bad Amund :D :D
LOL! now taht was funny!Quote:

You are an evil, evil man. But you're also at least partly responsible for me getting the Chamonix--so that may count in your favor--or not. :)Quote:

My fantastic wife told me I HAD to get one after I showed her pics of Amund and Jack's cameras. Who am I to say no to her?...
A HUGE THANKS goes to Hugo for helping us get such a sweet camera!!
Cheers and Happy Holidays to All!!
Amund's post WAS the seed for me to get this camera. I already have three 4x5 cameras and really don't need a fourth, but when I saw how good it looked, how light it is and it was less than the price of a typical reducing back ....Quote:

But as of today, the camera is still in HANGZHOU.
And then next week, there will either a Canham DLC45 or a Toyo 45AX in the classifieds.
:(
I am also anxiously waiting the arrival of a Chamonix 45N-1 here in New Hampshire! Perhaps, in a few months we could organize a print exchange of images made with our new acquisition!

Hey, that's great---now wait a second--customs isn't open on Sundays! Just *who* did they hand those cameras over to? :eek:Quote:

Hugo told me this was a production run of 100 cameras with 50 being shipped this weekend. A few dozen are going out to Chinese dealers.
Mine hasn't moved from there either :-(Quote:

#40 for me and y'all gonna freak when you see it.
#31 for me, and mine has left HANGZHOU.
Wich you have every reason to be. I know you prefer the super stability of a solid metal camera, but I suspect the Chamonix will surprise you. :)Quote:

Mine is 0049. Are they counting down? :)
Amund,
Your 0049 is serial number. The number they found with their orders is order number. Too many to track otherwise. :)
