The first batch of 123 Gen 3 INTREPID 4X5 camera has shipped, with one received here.
Took about 10 weeks from order. It seems to be a big improvement over the Kickstarter Gen 2 which I have not seen in hand.
Just unboxed and it is impressively lightweight, yet both sturdy and fragile. It weighs 2 Lbs on my scale. It could have been lighter if they had omitted the very nice rotating back, which is like a Linhof in operation.
The GG frame IS clamped with stretch cord. It works fine. The GG appears to be plastic and very bright.
The red bellows is the nicest thing about it. And the rest is very nice!
More later.
Anybody else have one?
Moderator's Note: At the OP's request, and reflecting information posted by the manufacturer of these cameras, the title of this thread has been corrected to clarify that the discussion is about the second-generation version of the camera, not the third, which as of this writing has not yet been released.
