It's lovely! Keep it up!
Hi, I continued to postpone this project for a long time, mainly for not being satisfied with a viewfinder idea. The viewfinder I originally intended to use would be pretty exact but really clumsy and I always wanted to keep the camera as compact as possible. Finally, I adopted another viewfinder idea (more on that later) and yesterday I have assembled the camera. So the project is now about 95% complete -- just waiting for the viewfinder, which will be independent and versatile, and for a cold shoe.

Nice progress you've made, looking forward to seeing first light images. It's fun to come back to a project that's been sitting around incomplete for a time, gives one a sense of accomplishment.

Just feeling I am owing something about this project. The camera was finished as presented, but I was kind of disappointed with it -- I cannot say why exactly, it was rather a feeling of "overengineering"... Ended up dismantled, some parts will be recycled.
