New Lomography Instant Wide

[adelorenzo]

Looks interesting. Been trying to see the price for it but apparently there has been enough demand since they launched this morning that their pre-order site is down.

Price-informationm only at request.

PetaPixel is reporting $199 for the camera.

It's got some cool features like PC sync (with manual exposure), exposure compensation... I put my name down, if I get a chance I'll likely pre-order one. I've been thinking about buying an Instax Wide camera anyways, but this one looks a lot better.

PC cord is a godsend

Just pre-ordered a black one.

My camera arrived yesterday. I've taken a few shots so far and I'm glad I bought it. Will post more of a review and pics later. Can't wait to try it out with pocket wizards.

You better!

Mine just arrived... Afraid I'm going to need a substantially different eyeglass prescription to see the finder clearly. (I'm very nearsighted, teetering on the edge of needing either bifocals or separate reading glasses with a different correction.) Otherwise, though, all seems in order - looking forward to trying it!

Fascinating ... the website is down ...

I got that too. The description sounds like something more terminal than just being "down." Not going to sell cameras that way.

What information did the microsite offer that the shop page does not?
