Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

[SergeiR]

Isn't the BLIK a rangefinder? I didn't know they had a dedicated viewfinder.

it is rangefinder and quite decent too. I am about to do some rummaging through old piles of gear in russia, hoping i didnt toss mine away years ago.

Anybody opened up their BLIK and adjusted the RF? Mine was delivered out of adjustment vertically.

If you happen to be passing through Bangkok, I know a good technician that just CLAed my 90mm Angulon for 30 bucks. Fixed a loose aperture blade as well. I have not checked the speeds yet, but it looks snappy (as they say).

I know we all are looking for accessories for our Wanderlust. I figured this may be the ticket for self portraits. It is cheap and unique, so I bought it. I love stuff like this.

If money were no object, I will only be able to buy more.

I don't need more.

I am like a kid, a new shiny is a new shiny, price is restricted by money, whatever that is...

Gotta sell more lemonade.

Do you guys think the Leica viewfinder 21-24-28 could be a good solution (not considering the price of course) ?

It's been a month since we funded this project and it would be really nice to get a status report. Has any progress been made? Any better idea of a delivery date? I hope periodic updates are forthcoming after the effort we put into publicizing and funding this project. Thanks.

Probably not a lot new to report yet. Now it depends on the speed of progress with the fabrication company Wanderlust has contracted with. They did say it would be 10~12 weeks for the molds to be made.

Let them rest. They have been very attentive here. This is a labor of love project and they will make very little per hour. We get a great camera for cheap.

They are doing the impossible!

I actually don't mind the wait. It reminds me of being a kid in the 1950's, you know, when you sent off that quarter taped to a Kellog boxtop to Battle Creek, Michigan for some little treasure. We lived in rural southern Indiana. I'd faithfully go out each day to check our big rural mailbox. After a couple of weeks you just kinda forgot the whole thing. Then, some hot August day, 6 or 8 weeks later, mom would say "something came in the mail for you today". The moment of initial confusion and then, Oh Yeah!
Ripping open the little battered brown paperboard box, in great excitement you inspected your treasure.
Could have been a secret decoder spy ring, or even better one of those submarines you put baking soda in to make go up and down in the water.

I've got my lens, and other accoutrements ready. Now I'm going to forget about it, (plenty of other photo related projects). Then, one day, unexpectedly, a package will arrive.

I know you can never go home again, but I still look forward to that experience of discovery and joy.

I think I'll leave mine accoutreless, at least for a while, and do pinhole shots with it.
