    Well I'm glad to read that, since mine is in a Synchro-Compur. Good to know I can just mount it and go!

    Re: Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

    I'm toying with the idea of using my iPod touch with the ViewFinder Pro app. I have a very lightweight tripod clamp, so all I'd need is one of those little tripod to hotshoe adapters. I have an iPhone which would work too, but the iPod touch is smaller, lighter and has all my film photo apps on it anyway..

    Hm, I don't know if it is because of this announcement, but a SN 3.1xx.xxx Angulon 90/6.8 in good working condition just sold on devil bay here in Germany for 262 EUR, that is about 100 more than usual a month ago.

    Ha, that's a great idea, I like it. I own and use the ViewFinder Pro app on my iPhone. One downside of mounting the phone on the TravelWide is that if I get a call, I'll have to somehow answer my camera, LOL. I could always use the speakerphone feature. Perhaps we can use the teleconferencing feature to provide realtime assistance related to composition and technical matters to someone shooting in the field.

    I'm going to use the Blik rangefinder. Somehow, I doubt there is room for the Touch and the Blik rangefinder on the top.

    By the way, could you ask the designers of the ViewFinder Pro app to please include date and time in each snapshot, and display it next to lat/long? I use the ViewFinder Pro app as a way of finding subjects and it would help to know when I might come back with my 4x5 to find similar light. I would also like to be able to easily select from more than four lenses on the first screen.

    Why disparage the bay by calling it devil bay? The bay gives us access to a global marketplace, where everyone can buy and sell, something we did not have in the old days. I like the new world, where I can find whatever I want, without having to somehow depend on local suppliers, who do not have certain items or charge too much for them, or local buyers, who will not pay me a good price on resale.

    When people see good prices being realized for these lenses, others will come on the market, possibly driving the prices down. There is usually a wide variability in prices on the bay. I think an Optar went for around $90.

    I still think the designers need to publish a list of recommended lenses so as to counter the idea that everyone must buy an Angulon f/6.8.

    That's been discussed here before-

    By the way, is there a reason why the 'New Products' forum is excluded from the Unified View, unless you're logged out, in which case I can see it as usual?
    Or have I messed up some settings somewhere?

    edit- I can see it now in unified view- strange...

    How ANNOYING! that the new TavelWide will NOT work with the 90/5.6!!!!! That's the only 90mm I have and I have no intention of getting another. Why did they make this decision?

    We actually haven't tried it with the 5.6, but from visual inspection, I think the rear element is just too gigantic. I don't think it will physically fit into the camera.

    Ultimately, it's a good thing... that is a very expensive lens, and it's quite heavy. If you could get it onto the Travelwide, you would need to carry it by the shutter, because holding it by the grip would make the camera dangerously front-heavy. It's hard to convey just how light the camera is. The last thing we want is a $1600 lens hitting the pavement.

    Because it's a massive lens that has no reason to be on a featherweight p&s?

    If you can afford that lens surely you can spring for a $100 Angulon or equivalent, seriously.

    I'd cancel the project. It is outrageous!
