Say what!? It’s a no name SLR that uses M42 mount lense and uses Instax film? Can you say “Millenial Bullsh*t”.

They should have used Canon EOS mount. The number of lenses adaptable to EOS is enormous. Tilt/shift lenses will cover the entire frame, but it would also be possible to adapt medium format lenses.

I love the concept, and having one would be fun (it doesn’t hurt that I have a couple of M42 lenses sitting around). On the other hand, I have become conditioned to view Kickstarters, especially in the camera realm, with suspicion. It’ll be tough to get me to part with $200 in the early stages of this.

Long after 135 mm was well established with the professional photographers, even up to the 60s, ocasional photographers used 6×6 and 6×4,5 out of the reason that those pictures could be watched 1:1. They did not have enlargers.
Now somebody wants to sell us a picture even tinier than 135 format?

Interesting name for this Hong Kong start-up. I believe Nons means “no way” in Cantonese.

Circular image would be a deal-breaker for me. Still, in what universe is a new film camera not a good thing.
