Meet the VZ-6617 by @exposingengineering The VZ-6617 is a new panoramic medium format camera being funded on Kickstarter. It utilizes what @exposingengineering calls a “Variable Zone Film Gate™️” that allows you to switch from 6x6 all the way to 6x17 on 120 film. Their Kickstarter campaign ends tomorrow so head to their page and check it out. It looks like there are very limited quantities still available! 👀👀👀 Photographers tagged in images!📸🎞️🎞️ (Except for Nick who is not on ig) Dev and Scan by us! @thefindlab 🧪🎞️🎞️🎞️

Part 4: Today we are checking out a new camera, very innovative because it not only shoots 6X17, but the variable film gate allows you to shoot any format down to 6X6 on the same roll of film. It is the @exposingengineering VZ-6617. It takes all of the ways 3D printing can help the price point for end users, without going cheap on parts that matter for usability and long term life like a metal helicoid and ball bearings for the advance. It is so much fun to shoot, the results speak for themself, and I am so excited and appreciative to be able to share it with all of you. I know that users will have a lot of good input, and I’m excited to see where this goes and what versions are yet to come. There’s so much that could be said about it, this is my first 4 part series, except YouTube where I released a long form video. If you all want to see more I can definitely do another video of using it in the field, or just answering more questions that come up, just let me know in the comments. #exposingengineering #vz6617 #exposingengineeringvz6617 #analog

I got lucky to be chosen as a Beta tester for this pre production camera, the VZ-6617 by @exposingengineering it is a cleverly designed multi format camera from 6x6 up to 6x17, it is very well thought, user friendly, lightweight and strong. It’s the first time for me using the 6x12 format and I’m enjoying it with this camera 😀🎞️ The Kickstarter is launching soon! .
