I really do appreciate everyones opinions on this but FR4 is a great choice for our lens boards I will explain why,

Aluminium boards = Cutting (water jet or laser) + Deburring + Tumbling or...

Hi Bernice,

thanks for your thoughts, rubberised was probably the wrong term to use, the coating is Vinyl, tested thoroughly and holds up well under heavy use. no need to worry about pinholes in...

Hello, I believe Naomi has all ready spoken to you about this but I just wanted to personally apologise that you received a faulty lens board, they are supposed to have a rubberised light proof...

Hello, welcome to the forum!

We make a 5x7 camera and a 5x7 to 4x5 reducing back for it, might be what you are after

5x7 Camera ->...

That looks like it could be a fault with the lens board, we recently changed the material to FR4 from aluminium, is this a new board? It should be light proof but obviously if there is a fault with...

Hello Michael, it does https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/t/product-categories/5x7 let me know if you have any questions

Hi Michael, I think that Cat Labs already sells what you are taking about. Certainly something I will consider producing though!

Thanks Jimi, it's a lovely format and we are really happy to add it to the line up.

As for the film holder, we have had a lot of feedback already that access to 5x7 holders is going to be a bit...

If only it was that easy, the various bits of machinery we have aren’t really cut out for doing the fine slitting work required for a double dark slide. Injection moulding is the only other solution...

it's a pun on or logo, or auto correct... whichever excuse for bad spelling is more plausible :o

Hello, I thought a few of you might be interested in seeing inside our factory, a few people from this forum have come for a visit but obviously being on the south coast of the UK does limit access...

Hi Daniel, many people with Intrepid Mk1s from 6 years ago still happily using them. Current 4x5 lead time is 6 weeks (its fluctuated a lot this year due to supply chain issues with Covid)

Hello, Max from Intrepid here, just to let you know we do read through these threads to make sure we are on top of quality control and haven't missed any issues etc.

Just to dial back a little on...

The Reason I suggested WD-40 or a similar light oiling product was because you need something to penetrate the tiny gap between the retaining ring and the plastic mount at the back of the base,...

Sorry your focus feels a little rough, it shouldn't do. Probably just need a few dabs of a light oil, WD40 or similar. put one on the rod itself and one between the retaining ring and the black...

Hello, yes the whole system is 12v, it ships with a 100-240v input power supply for regular use but you could just power it straight from your 12v supply

Let me know if you have any other...

Hi Peter, just double checked and can’t see an un answered email from
You, sorry if it got lost in the sub-etha! what was it you wanted to know?

Best, Max

Hello Pepe, we have been posting regular updates on our Kickstarter page, you should have received an email notification each time we posted one.

Hi Fred, due to the compact design in this section of the camera there wasn't room for a grub screw or retaining nut, CA glue worked perfectly in our testing, but it turns out that if the camera gets...

Hello Lasse, Sorry about the knob falling off, luckily a very easy fix, I have just sent you a quick email so we can get that all sorted for you. Best, Max

Daniel Casper Lohenstein

Some of these problems, not all though sound like the camera was very badly handled during shipping. The only cases we have had of the rear focus glue failing is from...

Hello, really sorry that no one has got back to you, what is your order number (Begins with R) I will find out what is going on

Best, Max

Hello Everyone, thought I would chime in on this thread as there are a few points coming up that I would like to say something about.

"It's not their day jobs"

Firstly there seems to be a...

Hello,

I know they have a direct line to the Toyo factory so can probably help you

Hello, I think in the future this is something we would love to do, we are still swamped with demand and for now are concentrating on keeping the product line simple, consistent and high quality....

Thanks Daniel! We are really happy with how the camera came out

P.S. Here are some pictures of the new 8x10, whilst not officially out until April any orders placed now for the current 8x10 model will be automatically upgraded to the new one you see bellow

Hello, sorry to hear about the issue with tension on the back, this is the first time I have heard of the tension not being enough when the film holder is inserted and as you point out it is not a...

Hi Bob, I just checked the shipping records and yours shipped in May 2018, so by the time the new model comes out it will have been a year which is a fairly standard product cycle in many industries....

Hi Bob, Naomi Just showed me your email but thought I would reply on here. We first launched the 8x10 in May 2017 and didn't start producing Leaf Spring backs until June 2018. So quite a gap between...

Hello Alan, very sorry the lens board got lost in the post, we did ship you a new one as soon as you let us know it was missing and that board should be with you soon. I just looked at the emails and...

Hi Paul, really sorry about that! I can only assume it got hot on its way to you, we have changed the material the boards are made of now to prevent this from happening again. I'm not in the workshop...

Thanks! In answer to your questions,

1. This isn't a problem at all with the LEDs and timer we have, whilst electronics isn't my strongest topic (more of a wood guy) Carl, our electronics...

It would make a difference as in one scenario the lens and paper plane is fixed (moving the rear standard) and in the other the lens and paper plane would move (moving the front standard) you could...
