Jack, that is of course the idea. Film vertically, watch vertically. No letterboxing, full screen = video.

Thanks Bryan, that is interesting. The disobedient nerd in me wants to mess with the metadata to trick the app into thinking the horizontal video is vertical. Probably would get me banned though :-O

How are they going to assess whether a video is vertical or horizontal? And if someone uploads a horizontal video, will it get blocked?

The product is effectively finished. All he needs are custom rubber parts. As such, I'm am confident that I am right when I say that this is a time consuming device when you digitise rolls of 35mm.

Grogan, you are right - when I was talking about cost prohibitive, I was specifically talking about the digital sensor (and by extension the electronic hardware necessary).

No, the issue is that once you stop paying, you end up with an effectively defunct piece of software that you have paid hundreds of dollars for.
I'd probably switch if Adobe would guarantee that...

Sounds ok. By the time that runs out, the LR alternatives should be so good that jumping ship makes sense.

Nice! 90° mounting is so important!
Working on my own DIY solution for 35mm rolls.

White semi-transparent plastic sheets can be bought cheaply off ebay.
And if you think this device is quick to go through rolls of 35mm film, I disagree.

I don't think he says that in the video? He says 120 film up to 6x9 - which in this case is cm. It is confusing, because the next measure he says is in inches.

For people with larger formats this is a very nifty solution and while DIY will get you there a bit cheaper, it won't be worth the hassle for most. I am not so convinced for 35mm folks.

I am...

glass will cause newton rings, so you need a special anti-newton plate.

If you look at lenses and cameras for 8x10 (inches) sheet film, they are heavy and bulky, but certainly not impossible for a single human to work with. This sensor in a modular mount could even...

To add another link, there is some confusing terminology to go around. The "phase fresnel" lens is different from the fresnel lens in a lighthouse light. The Lighthouse lens is a refractive optics...

Is this the point where we discuss the superiority of backpacks? I brought an axe that needs some grinding and if someone could bring a dead horse, we could get the party started!
;)

I'm not sure I'm late to the party, I haven't bought RRS ever, so I think my track record is flawless ;) Instead I bought something probably made in China by a company that probably has an even...

"There's no doubt that the image quality of those bags is superb"

Either I am missing something here or you had a mental slip of the tongue :D

Implying people are "organising a boycott" because 5 people on a gearhead website say they won't buy their stuff seems a little hyperbolic. And even if they were, it would be classed as protected...

thanks, was trying to find actual format size but struggled, "everybody" said 6cm.
Found it now - for example the Kiev 60 http://mattsclassiccameras.com/slr/kiev-60/

I think 6x6 should be okay for the expected quality from Instax film - what are slightly dark corners on a Polaro.. ..I mean Instax picture?
62x62 vs 60x60 (or thereabouts).
Here's a cool DIY...
