Kickstarter: Daguerrotype Lens Beats Stretch Goal

The Lomography Kickstarter for a modernized replica of the original Chevalier lens has exceeded all its stretch goals. On offer are not only the lens, but goodies such as prints, additional Waterhouse aperture plates, a red filter and now a leather pouch for the lens. By raising over $800,000 with time to spare, all the extras are now included. Lenses expect to start shipping by September, with more to follow in later months. There may be delays due to the sheer volume of lenses demanded. Offer ends May 10th.
