Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

I was responding to Randy's complaint that estimating meters as yards wasn't precise enough.

Rick "whose surveyor-trained pace used to be accurate enough that it mattered" Denney

Yes I know, and I was expressing the opinion it is closer than I can estimate anyway therefor close enough.

More accurate than a mechanical range finder because your eyes are wider apart than even a Blick's windows is the human range finder. The business card sized gauge fits in your shirt pocket and is free (apart from the paper and ink) here http://tomchuk.com/misc/rf/

Here's one I made just now for the Travelwide with a 90mm Angulon

Thanks Rod!


I will make one or ten and plastic coat them.

Base Leg Too Short... Hmmm?

Hi guys,

Just sent out an update for backers with tons of geeky CAD detail! Hopefully this explains why it has taken us a second to get the ball rolling. These are the types of changes you really don't want to rush.

The indicator ring is a good idea.

Threaded inserts are more than I imagined, better than wood cameras!

Awesome update--I really appreciate the design details. It looks like the design has matured and the new helical design looks great.

[David Karp]

Very well thought out. This looks really great!

[Jim Cole]

Really excellent upgrades, guys. The camera now defines "awesomeness"! Well worth waiting for.

[Regular Rod]

Thank you for the update. I can hardly wait. I've sourced: a lens; step up ring; lens hood; viewfinder (as per your suggestion from the nice chap in Israel); some extra dark slides; cable release for mounting on the camera and expect to use the human rangefinder until I know how to guess in metres, all I need now is the camera. Roll on December 2013!
