Subject: Concept for the TL120 lens board

Here are a couple images of how I think the lens board might
appear:

I _think_ they will cost about $100. That depends mostly on
getting the quantity to something greater than one :) My
current concept uses aluminum to keep the cost and weight down.

You'd have to BYOL (bring your own lenses). The result is a
55mm camera focused at hyperfocal for f/22.

I have a concept for incorporating focus, but I really doubt
it would scale to any quantity greater than one as it
involves parting out three additional cameras to get their
focusing gears :(

Hi John! This sounds pretty good to me! So, once again, I´ll will join
this project with one lens board for my TL120, if you should start the
production! Please keep us informed! Kind regards, Chris
