Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

[David Aimone]

I just wanted to contribute twice and get two cameras, one as a gift. I assume I'm not delaying anyone else's camera by getting two, but just supporting the project. I can always wait and purchase one aside from Kickstarter, but it wouldn't apply to your goal...

Unfortunately, no. Kickstarter has really cracked down. But we could add a reward level for one 90 and one 65, if people wanted both!

Heh. I was the first! There were "zeo" backers when I hit the button.

But then I needed several tries to remember my idiot Amazon password. Doh!

Oh come on! I need a trip somewhere nice

Fantastic!!! Got one for $49.

Surprised about the 65mm ver. But my question is, will it work for a 58mm XL??? I'll order that too if so.

Okay guys, it's live! Here's the link!

Thank you, and please spread the word!!

EDIT: We have 25 cameras at $49, and when those run out, we have 25 more at $69!

Thanks for posting this and keeping us updated. I'm in for one and I've submitted this to PetaPixel as well.

If someone is already in for, say, the super early bird special, and then you add a 90/65 reward, how would that work? Hypothetically speaking, of course

I'm in at $49. Looks like a blast to shoot. Good work guys! Oh yeah, I'm working on spreading the word.

Any chance of putting some kind of strap lugs on the thing so I can throw it over my shoulder?

Yeah, we knew you guys wanted a 65! I'll have to look at the dimensions and FFD for the 58mm... It's always possible to do a simple recessed "lensboard" for the front of the body, but at 58mm it might have to be a new body. That way it could be more compact anyway.

Thinking "out loud," I think we would probably do a new body that we could use to make both a 47 and 58 version, similar to how we've done with the 90 / 65 body. But we'd certainly need this one to be successful before we could consider that.

I want both. Tell me about the 65. What mechanism to you have for setting the fixed focus? Someone will want to adjust the lens position for different assumptions of hyperfocal distance, or for different apertures, etc.

Is it set up for infinity focus? That would allow focus adjustment using shims.

Thanks, Larry! There are two boreholes through the camera's grips, which can be used for a strap. You would just pass the strap down one side, across the bottom, and up the other side. It works great!

I'm hesitant to add too many more reward levels (we already have a lot), so if I added one, it would probably be close to full price (ie $189 for both cameras).

Yay, I am a super early bird too... Number 13, I think! :-)
