I have just about no sales resistance. I've already ordered the
Multiformat Deluxe (I really want a 6x9 camera with the cable release
mechanism and the bubble level). There'll be no more toys until I pay
it off.

I'm really impressed with the design of the Zero2000 (the 6x6
version). It took all my will power to walk out of Calumet without
buying one (I don't really have a use for just one).

I've been kicking around a design for a Medium Format stereoscopic
(3D) camera (with lenses) for a while. The Zero2000 solves a few
annoying problems in very ingenious ways. And they are amazingly
inexpensive. I've spoken to Zernike about a stereo camera, but his
(reasonable) price for a one off camera is too high for me. I may
abandon thoughts of a monolithic stereo pinhole camera and get two of
the Zero2000s. I've already done something similar with a pair of
Lubitels, but there are several inconveniences with using two separate
cameras instead of a monolithic camera.
