the koolest new thing is to be a late adopter so I'm just off to make some wet plate collodions
I'm also trying to cultivate a Landshark-stylee beard to stroke reflectively as I gaze into the upside-down image on my ground glass screen
One thing that has completely mystified me if how to keep the subjects entertained between composing one's shot through the ground glass to sticking in the wet plate and firing the shutter. My exposures would all show a prominent ummm... central ummm... digit.
I think the old timey guys used free-standing head clamps and such. Maybe they had a set of pointy set-screws for the extra fidgety! lol
stanleyk, you can't possibly need another Fuji camera.
Let me make the obvious comment. I wonder what it will cost?
my guess is $1,400....maybe $1,300. If it's less than that, the X-Pro1 may just wither on the vine.
But if rumors of a new more expensive X-Pro2 are real, maybe the X-Pro1 drops to $1,500 and the X-E1 can be $1,200 with the X100 becoming $1,000.
Too much speculation makes my head hurt. We'll know more in a few weeks.
How quickly do Fuji products become available after announcement?
