€130, nah I quite like fiddling around in the dark...
So it's not just a nasty rumour then.

Indeed, it has proved very popular.Long gone!
Arrived and used, very successful Kickstarter project. Perfect for when I have just a few sheets to process and don't want to use a litre of chemicals in the Doran tank.Did the 54 daylight tank ever arrive?

You only need a darkroom if you're printing your photos the traditional way, you can develop with a daylight tank and a changing bag then scan the negatives. That's the workflow for a lot of us who don't have darkrooms.This looks interesting to me as I would love to be able to develop my own film but have no where for a darkroom quite tempted to have a punt on it.

That's what normally happens, once they've fulfilled their commitment to the original backers they'll offer the next batch up to the general public I would have thought.Given that this is fully backed, am I right to assume that these will be on general sale to non-backers (albeit likely at a higher price) when they're ready?
The Lab-Box just keeps getting better and better. https://www.kickstarter.com/project...ulti-format-daylight-loading-fi?ref=user_menu
I've been really impressed with their stretch goals, the stuff they've added makes a lot of sense from a usability point of view. I just it lives up to all the promise.
I've ordered one with the 35mm and 120 format options. I'm really glad they've surpassed their funding goal it should make the final product even better.Have you ordered one? Still thinking... I already have the Rondinax 35 (though it's showing its age), and shoot very little 120 at the moment...
Beware of stretch goals. They're adding design complexity that they haven't planned for, and are adding unit costs without a unit price increase. They're basically increasing the chance of project failure.

nd bearing in mind that these are being offered after
their original target has been reached nearly 81/2 times over with 7 days still to go.
Agreed, but surely this is economies of scale? With the increased funding and guaranteed sales it gives them greater wiggle room and those benefits are being passed onto the backers.Yeah, but this is the problem. A lot of projects treat this as "extra" money, but it's not. Don't get me wrong, they may have costed it out properly, but those add-ons come at a price, and I'd rather a project stuck to their plans than got carried away with what they mistakenly see as an increased budget.
Just in case anybody fancies backing this, there's 3 days left https://www.kickstarter.com/project...ulti-format-daylight-loading-fi?ref=user_menu
Last hour or so... thermometer now included!
Any moment now but I'm still not holding my breathhttps://www.kickstarter.com/project...ulti-format-daylight-loading-fi/posts/2359979
"Now to the time schedules: As we previously wrote, we are committed to dispatching the first batches by the end of the year. We still cannot pin down any date, but we can confirm that couriers are scheduled to pick up the first batches between the end of December 2018 and the end of January 2019.

No just me typing on a phone, started off putting "starting from scratch" and changed it to "level playing field" and it all got a little confused."scratched"? Is this auto-correct again?
It had to collect from the local post office so I think it was Parcel Force at this end, I’ll have a look when I get home and let you have as much info as I can.I had in mind to do one... though we're back home now and no sign of it yet. @RaglanSurf what postal method did they use?
