I cannot see why not - but you should allow the powers to be make that call. You will have to pay the levy though - no free lunch on this world trip

Question: Are we limiting our lens use to the one mounted on it, or, are we going to encourage the use of as many lenses as possible. I favour the latter and we should document each lens mounted on it.

Good shots from Eric.... And that Asahiflex is gorgeous. Is it still possible to get in on this?

Of course! Hopefully this will last as long as the camera.

Instructions are in post #1. Let Adam know where you're located... he's done a great job of grouping participants by location to minimize travel time.

You can use whatever lens you got! The lens is there if you need/want to use it.

What kind of film did Eric use?

Are we all still supposed to adorn it with a small memento of its time in our hands?

@Enigmatica
Where in Australia are you guys located? It would be good along a path so it does get sent back and forth across the continent if possible.
I'm in Melbourne

SpartanD63 · 06-09-2016, 12:05 AM

Alright. I got my donation in! Can I get added to the list?

@ petrol_pyro

Newcastle NSW for me. I might consider a flight down to Melbourne when sending it on and perhaps we can meet up to have a coffee and a play.

Thank you. Sorry for the lack of a specific state. It depends on if I'll be back to school by the time it gets to me.
