Maybe Lomography is growing up. While the lenses might have some poor specs (f/8 min. aperture), the camera seems decent. Far more than you got with the lower-end Kodak Tourists, for example, way back when. Curious to see about the "high quality Russian lens" that's still on the way.

Not sure about that about the price, though...

Dunno. This upscaling of Lomography's cost, if not necessarily quality, doesn't make much sense in light of the rising cost of film and processing. Lots of good used stuff that delivers far more, IQ-wise, for less.

Well, the price of the Fuji folder is around $1600, this little folder has a much larger negative and costs $175 if you pre-order. A vintage 6x9 folder in good condition will cost that much. I think they may have pegged their price point pretty closely. It will be interesting to see how it sells. The Harman Titan pinhole has done pretty well and it is priced a little higher than that.

I may not be interested in buying one myself but I am all for anything that keeps film moving off the shelf.
