Reflex on Kickstarter

[Huss]

With fully mechanical shutter, that may be a better option than the Reflex. We'll have to see when the details are released.

For someone that wants that.
🙂

I am looking forward to seeing this too, and the full specs when it is announced.

Akshully that is not the case. I have ordered one to go with the camera but it does not show as the kickstarter process only lets you make one selection for your pledge. So if you want to order anything else, you need to just increase your pledge amount for that one selection commensurate with the cost of the additional item. And then send Reflex an email saying what else you are paying for.
I know of many that have done that.
Reflex even details it in their FAQ. It is unfortunate that this is the only way to do it.

So two backers bought an interchangeable back and no camera, or pledged for a back but increased their pledge to include a camera, or...

Yeah. Weird. I was surprised that Kickstarter does not let you back multiple items.

But none of those are:

1/ New
2/ Able to adapt to any lens mount with a simple switch of a mount plate
3/ Have detachable film backs with dark slides.
4/ Have a built in flash and LED light.

The detachable film back is a nice idea.

Yep, I pledged.

I have other film cameras, but there is so much I admire about this. In this age of hand wringing and lamenting the death of film cameras, someone is actually bringing out an all new design. And it is nothing like what I have, or what is available.

The last 'new' film camera to be released was the Leica M-A, which is just an MP with the battery removed. Not exactly bringing anything new to the table there. Oh, and it is $4000.

I also am excited about being able to use my Minolta 58 1.2 on a new body.

Huss, like you, I was disappointed that no Minolta MC/MD mount was offered with this camera. How do you plan to use your Minolta lens with it in the absence of the appropriate mount?

They announced they will make the Minolta mount due to popular demand and because they already blew through their fund raising goal.

"At 150%, not only are we introducing the Reflex App, but due to high demand, joining that target now is the Minolta SR/MD mount."

Sweeeeet!

Good news, Huss. That's how it should be! 😛

The same people complaining about it, wishing it was something else, also wouldn't buy that something else if it was offered new.
They would just say why bother, I can get it used and cheap..

Let's be honest. The gripers are not the target audience. They no longer are relevant as customers for gear. The next generation of film shooters are.

Aaaand... new shooters do not hang out on forums like this. They are on flickr groups or facebook groups.

Whoa that was brutal and true 🙂

Campaign is funded and closed! Now let's hope they get to production!
