I say this is good news. Funny how I heard about this from my 24 year old intern who signed up to get one!

I didn't even know about this. That's certainly great response. I wish them well.

Hope they can keep up with that demand. Yowza!

That is going to be a lot of 8x10 film getting sold.

The Early Bird category (40 cameras) went in 12 hours!

I think the early birds went quicker than that. I heard it was gone in minutes....

I was simply quoting what Intrepid Camera themselves have reported; don't know for fact.

 

[canuhead]

ah, my info was second hand. either way, they went fast !

Thats 225 8x10's sold in just a couple of days, i would not at all be surprised if they just outsold the combined yearly 8x10 camera figures of Shenhao/Chamonix combined.....

 

[canuhead]

just looked for new updates and art beat me to it...12 minutes ! that's insane. oh, and I backed the camera but passed on the holders. for now.

Where are all the lenses going to come from
They going to make those too?...prices are already high for currently available and supply is diminishing

 

[locutus]

A quick ebay search turns up a large amount of 300 and 360mm lenses in shutter, some as low as 280$

if i count all of this out including charges and shipping costs to get this all to my doorstep in Finland i could get the Camera/2 Holders/Lens/100 sheets for 1100 Euros....

Edit: forgot to list this includes holders.

 

[Peter Schrager]

You forgot holders...Youll need more than one

I strongly suspect that this is why they decided to make their own film holders.

 

[darkosaric]

Who was saying that no new cameras are produced any more ...?

 

[locutus]

I forgot to list them but that total price is including 2 of the Intrepid wood holders.... 4 8x10 shots per outing sounds like a decent starting point to me.

With 5x4 i usually take 6 shots per outing only.

They could have shared a little more info on the holders, since those are a very critical part of the LF equation. Internal frame (if any)? Metal/hardwood parts in important places? Type of darkslide plastic?
