There is a lot of info already on the lomo lenses in the different forums here. I encourage you to search it out.

Also if you search "konvas 2m" on eBay you will see a bunch of lomo lenses as well.

Let's keep on topic for this forum please

James and co.

Here's an idea - let us "subscribe" to a site where we can download a hi-res PDF of the Guide so we don't have to wait for the men in blue?

That way, you guys can update the guide to reflect latest developments on the micro35...

anyone second the motion?

Does that mean you already got yours? :o

No guide today. With any luck it will be here tomorrow.

Will Robertson · April 22nd, 2005, 12:49 PM

Already been asked. Hes worried of theft, its not going to happen.

Kevin Richard · April 22nd, 2005, 05:11 PM

Yeah, cause it would be impossible for any customer to just pdf the document themselves *rolleyes*

Dana Jan · April 22nd, 2005, 06:11 PM

No guide for me today. Order status for ALL paid customers and/or a shipping notification via email is really in order here. Especially since I paid for my guide on Feb. 25th. After 2 months I'd like to know where my guide is.

Imran Zaidi · April 22nd, 2005, 07:45 PM

Well it's not like anyone can't rip a DVD, but distributors still put copyright encoding on them. We all have to do what little we can to make it that little bit tougher for those who don't respect original works, because that little bit can easily cut out most people who won't bother going the extra step.

Let's all respect James' desire to not do PDFs and leave it at that.

Mark Kubat · April 23rd, 2005, 09:51 AM

I offered this as a solution in light of some recent posts (I think Cory?) that suggested there were a lot of changes made to micro35 design in recent weeks AFTER the guides had been printed. It was suggested that Guide owners would have to log in to a website to get some sort of "update" to their guide...

James Hurd · April 23rd, 2005, 10:39 AM

Dana,
Your guide like everyone elses as of last Monday is on the way. An email launching the new site and directions for guide customers will be sent out this week.

***Updated***
I wanted everyone to know what the shipping schedule was over the last two weeks.

Shipment 1 - April 14th, USPS
Shipment 2 - April 18th, USPS
Shipment 3 - April 20th, USPS

All international orders were shipped 'USPS International Air'

I won't go into how many guides were shipped, but seeing the shipment schedule should give you a good indication that it wasn't a 'few'. We should have plenty of input on the building process once this 'Global Build' starts! ;)

Thanks everyone and sorry for the delay!

Thanks!

Thank you James,
I appreciate you sharing that information with me and the rest of the guide buyers who are all anxiously awaiting your plans so that we can build these amazing devices.

James,

At what postal rate were these sent? That would give us a better idea of when to expect them.

I ordered mine on Jan. 24. As of tomorrow, it will 3 months since ordering and a week less than that since the original ship date of February 1st. I think it's understandable that everyone who preordered is getting a bit touchy about when they are arriving.

Thanks,

Brett

Mark Kubat · April 23rd, 2005, 01:40 PM

Is the printed guide being revised to reflect latest changes? What is the "upgrade path" if you order a printed guide and there end up being some key revisions due to enhancements/improvements?

Just curious if it somehow makes sense to WAIT a little longer before ordering a guide - ie. will things be "finalized" soon for kit and full-rig release?

Hope my question makes sense?

thanks for your hard work...

Mark

Also, are all parts for building your own micro35 now "shipping?" Ie. if I get my guide ordered and it comes say Monday - is there anything to stop me from ordering a part or two that prevents complete assembly of the micro35 after a day or two? I guess I'm wondering if there are any "bottlenecks" left now that the guide is shipping?

Hope this question is helpful...

thanks!
