And I much rather have a camera without any meter but it would be a pain for me to open the aperture up to focus and stop down before releasing the shutter.One of the consequences of their mount is that lenses are normally mounted in stopped-down mode and that is the natural state the camera is used in for metering and making the exposure. Therefore there is a "reverse depth-of-field" button or lever which is used to open the aperture wide open momentarily for focusing.
It's another vaporware. It's also a Soviet design camera re-dressed as far as I've read.
When I see it, I'll believe it.
Exactly. Been far too long with far too little success.I do not believe these people will ever sell a camera that resembles what They Have Been Promising for a LONG Time.

These guys, especially that middle man from Japan that re-badges film with his "Name" on it, were REALLY pushing this camera as "The Future Of Film"...!!Exactly. Been far too long with far too little success.
In 1940, from initial design on paper to actual flying aircraft, it took North American Aviation about five months to produce the P-51.
However, NAA knew what they were doing.
I mean, it has some good ideas behind it - interchangeable backs and lens mount on 35 mm system? who could ask for more? But in reality at the price tag (along with 1 extra back and 1 extra lens mount) I could buy a high end, not so old, much more functional film camera along with every lens that an average man needs. And 35 mm cams aren't that heavy so why not buy a backup body to shove a different kind of film into it.These guys, especially that middle man from Japan that re-badges film with his "Name" on it, were REALLY pushing this camera as "The Future Of Film"...!!
When was the last time those guys showed their face(s) in public.?

.......Every few months they dribble out something about needing more time, and that they are rushing some kind of awesome strap to their "supporters".
If you ask me, the only true advantage of this camera (ha it reached production) would be that it's actually a newly manufcture item. Because how many 35 mm are still being manufactured? Three? Four? And how many are SLR? One?I'd consider getting one. I really like the idea of being able to switch from b&w to color without having to drag along another body.

I ask for something like the Nikon F2. But at any rate right now there are plenty of good used 35mm SLR looking for films. So it's film is needed not cameras.I mean, it has some good ideas behind it - interchangeable backs and lens mount on 35 mm system? who could ask for more?

Your lifetime needs of developer/fixer will probably be less expensive than just one full tank of the MustangI'd trade my Nikon gear for a P-51.
You guys are shooting too hugh. Hawker Hurricane would be enough for meYour lifetime needs of developer/fixer will probably be less expensive than just one full tank of the Mustang
But I agree, I too would trade my Nikon (and possibly my Hasselblad too) for a P-51!!
I'm familiar with the Rollei (they're very rare, though, and they look kinda heavy) Are there others? I'd need something that can take a shift lens.There are several 35mm cameras that allow such. So if you are willing to employ a used camera you got choices.
