Looks like they found a cheap 70's fixed-focus f/11 point and shoot and are trying the same mess thast was done with the "digital Hi-Matic" or whatever it was called.

The other looks like another 70's PS with not much special about it.

The 35mm TLR? Who knows.

Depends. How old are you, and how's your arm?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but nowhere did I see pricing for their “Art” camera. With or without the “discount” for supporting their Kickstarter.

Surprised that they have as many pledges as they do.

Barnum was right.
