You probably meant "pledged"?

Or am I missing something? This Kickstarter shows 14,265 of 21,572 EUR for me at the moment. So, not funded.

BTW, I'm positive it will get funded, I just don't want people to think that this project is already funded and to avoid the now already proverbial "funding secured" f*ckup...

I commit myself to contribute, better? Not my first rodeo in kickstarter, but it is always good to remember how crowdfunding works.

Moderator note - fixed that for you - although the idea of "crowfunding" does sound intriguing.
And with moderator hat off:
Best of luck with an interesting project, from one Canadian "Matt" to another.

Shoot. I just blew my meter budget on an SEI photometer.

For anyone in Toronto area who wants to see the great Reveni Labs products (including a demo of the new Lumo meter), we will be both at the Toronto's Camerama Camera Show on 9th of February demoing different products.

More details in announcement post here:

New products announcement - 6x17 Panoramic camera and P&S conversion for Sinar F, F1 and F2 - compatible with Sinar Handy

Dear fellow Photrio forum members, I'm very pleased to announce two new products. They are a result of long term testing, improvements and refinements of the previous designs. Most importantly the same lenses can be used on your Large Format camera with corresponding adapter as well as on 6x17...

My Lumo popped up in the mail today. It's a delight. I can't really read the EV pairs on my beloved Gossen DigiFlash without reading glasses (!!) any more, and my Gossen Colour meter is a bit 'over loved', so it instantly replaces those two meters for every-day use. Very robust and easy to use, and sensible USB-C charging+user-replaceable battery. Will test it against every other meter with some enthusiasm later on...

Marc!

I have mine too and it is a really cute thing very well made. I found some miscalibration in the color temperature compared to my Minolta Color Meter II but I was able to correct it. The incident metering matched close enough my Sekonic L-308 (less than a third of stop difference). Reflected metering not tested.

One good thing is that any metering bias in any category can be corrected in the software.
