I wish I had $10k to give considering you guys are only $8,900 away from the goal. I'll tell you what, if I win the lottery tonight I'll pledge $20k to fund more R&D!Originally Posted by Ben Syverson
Johnny, thank you for your pledge! Regarding future cameras, NOTHING is off the table, and we'd of course be happy to talk with any backer at the 10K level.As a company, we'd like to get to the point where we can produce complete, self-contained cameras. We like products that are wide angle, cheap, good and small, so a panoramic camera MF would be a natural.
On a side note - in the next update, is there any way you could add information about the mount itself. It may have already been mentioned and I didnt see it but I was looking for copal size compatability and I was unable to find it...

Funny, I had that idea, but thought, nah, that's insane. Handheld 8x10? LOL.
Ben, thanks for the link for cheap film. I'll try it out.
When you draft the instruction sheet, how about including a list of URLs of sites recommended for users who'd like to learn more?Thank you, Kirk! Hopefully this project will bring some folks to LFF and send them down the LF rabbit hole.
The Hobo was hand held. Oh well, probably not enough people to warrant one anyways. Probably why the Hobo died out. Maybe I can slap one together...Funny, I had that idea, but thought, nah, that's insane. Handheld 8x10? LOL.

The Arista stuff is really Foma. Not bad film. I shoot some of the 400. It's not Kodak or Ilford in QC (or grain, or speed - the 400 is more like a 200 speed film, and the reciprocity failure characteristics of both the 100 and 400 are quite possibly the worst of any conventional film, but speed can be adjusted for in exposure, grain doesn't matter much in 4x5, and reciprocity failure doesn't matter with exposures shorter than 1/2 second, 1 second with most other films.) Another option is x-ray film which is even cheaper. There are several threads here about it. AFAIK you can't get it in 4x5 but since it's either blue, green, or blue-green sensitive you should be able to handle it under a red safelight to cut it down to size.
Handheld 8x10 would be...something, probably not practical. But with the pinhole cap these cameras promise to be better and less expensive than other pinhole options.
I remember looking at the Hobo. The advantage of the Hobo is that if anybody gets angry at you after you take their picture, you hold the Hobo a little higher and they break their hand when they try to punch you in the face.
Now, a plastic Hobo, LOL....... I can't believe there would be a huge market for it, though.
Ah, ok, thanks for that information, so I can use the Fomapan 100 setting in the Reciprocity timer app to figure out the reciprocity? I've been really happy with Tri-X 320. I'll try this stuff for grins.
Re: Wanderlust 4x5 P&S
Just pledged for a 4x5 TravelCam 2 days ago and my bud just pledged today, both for the 90mm Angulon. I've had the lens for over 20 yrs. but mostly use my Schneider 150. Can't wait to go out and try it. I hope everyone who can afford it will get one. Go to the Kickstarter web site below to get the latest info/video. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wanderlust/travelwide-45-camera?ref=live
