I have read this entire thread and frankly I see no merit whatsoever in the project.
So it is said, and I ignore.

This needed to be said?

Hi everybody,

I'm finishing up the instruction sheet for the Travelwide 90, and I'd love to get your feedback. I'm trying to fit quite a bit on one 8.5x11" sheet. Am I missing anything major?

You can click on the image to get the PDF.

Hi Ben,

The drawings look great and seem very descriptive. The words are another issue. The font desperately needs changing to a more legible style. Even with my computer view clicked up several times it was still not legible. In fact it was worse. That's my critique and I don't want to sound nasty. I was once a graphic designer and learned how valuable it is to select a good font style, out of the several thousand type style that exist, for the need at hand. You can do better, thousand of yet to be taken photographs may depend on it. Ha ha.

Happy trails,
SteveP

You really have to love someone who reads 242 pages of commentary on a project and THEN decides it's not worth his time.

Did you click on the image to bring up the PDF? The PDF is very legible even on my IPhone and IPad.

Steve,

Oh no! Did you click the image to open the PDF? I tried to make everything as legible as possible, given the 6pt type size. See below. Honestly, I'm going to post how-to videos that will make all the steps much more clear. I hope people go to the website if they can't read the type!

Agreed! I can easily read it and I usually have trouble.

And loading film holders into the camera like that works great.

I was prying up the springs with my clumsy fingers and wondering...

No trouble reading the PDF on my pad although the use of the removable rubber collar with the focusing bracket was self evident when first presented in update 7 over two years ago. All in all I think it will be sufficient for even the novice using 4X5 for the first time. Wouldn't it be cheaper not to print these up to put in each box? Since they are in PDF already I'm sure most backers can just print them out at any time, right?

Anyway Ben, you know what we are really waiting for.......
That KS update no. 34 'in the next few days' with the low down about when and how shipping will begin.

If you believe that he did that. It's too dark under that bridge to read that much.

I love the idea and am really looking forward to mine.
