[Ken Ford]

Six more to a thousand pledged!

Two more cameras to reach 1000 now. Looks like they will have it by midnight tonight.

[Larry Kellogg]

Wonderful! For other types of cameras, a thousand is nothing, but it's huge for the large format community. I pinged another 4x5 shooter, maybe that will put you over the top. Hmmm, I wonder if ICP has an old fashioned student bulletin board.

I received my cheapie 28mm finder from the guy in Israel today. (Well, yesterday now.)

I don't know what his detractors on eBay were complaining about, unless they just expected a $200 Voigtlander for twenty bucks. It's a bit small and plastic, it isn't real bright (but bright enough, I can certainly use it fine) and has a small image with a fair amount of obvious distortion. None of which matters very much at all to me. It's a FINDER. It's supposed to show, with a bit more precision than the wire frame sports finder, what will be in the field of the lens and on the film. It should work fine.

Good value for twenty bucks IMHO, even with the shipping.

Good news. Mine should be here shortly also.

It will be fine.

Yeah, those look like great little finders! We contacted him to see about wholesaling them, but he can't produce them in the volumes we would need. But anyone looking for finders should check his out!

Do you have a link for these finders? I did a search but only found the $$$ ones...

BTW, 156%+ of your goal with two days left! Well done....!!!

Ok, found it thanks to Randy. These look like masked Holga viewfinders, but I guess they'll do!

Yeah, that's about right. My own beef with them is the tiny eye relief. I have one for 24mm, but it doesn't really cover properly and I'm going to ahve to adjust the masking if I use it. It's main advantage is being compact and nearly weightless. But I hate viewfinders that require me to remove my glasses.

Truth be told my Voigtlander VFs have some barrel distortion too. I couldn't tolerate much more myself, but that's a pet-peeve of mine with VFs.
