A lot of us still shoot film for love and for fun. I'm often dragging around my Polaroid 600, my Hassie 500cm, some Lomo stuff (or these other film cameras)... but it's next to impossible to have clients get fired up to shoot film in a professionals setting.

I stumbled on this gem via Kickstarter a week or two ago and reached out to my camera tech pal Sohail to get his take. In short, we cranked out this review in short order to give you a first look AND... I've got another prototype en route to my studio now to put it thru the paces of an actual commercial job...

At a pricepoint that is majorly accesible, it offers similar features as the DX-format D7000 and seems to represent a big leap...
