ILFORD PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY KIT SNAPPED UP
The first stocks of the new ILFORD PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY KIT featuring the HARMAN TiTAN PINHOLE CAMERA were shipped to UK photographic dealers from 24th October 2011. Several dealers then reported that they had sold out within 48 hours, and placed further orders. Such has been the interest in the HARMAN TiTAN since the prototype was first shown at Focus on Imaging exhibition earlier this year that several hundred Kits are now on back order. The cameras are manufactured in the UK by Walker Cameras. Mike Walker is working flat out to satisfy demand from enthusiasts all around the world that will take several months to catch up; meanwhile new batches are being shipped as they become available. Anyone keen to secure a kit should place an order with his or her chosen dealer; this will ensure they secure a camera when stocks arrive.
Steven Brierley, Director of Sales and Marketing at HARMAN technology said, “The interest that the HARMAN TiTAN camera has generated has been overwhelming for us. Orders for the Kits are far more than anyone anticipated. This is a pleasant surprise for us and we are doing everything we can to deliver the kits to everyone as soon as possible. There has been a lot of talk in various forums between people anxious to see what we have got. So much so that we have now released a short video on YouTube. “
The short 5-minute video, presented by Sue Evans of HARMAN technology Technical Department, explains the features of the camera and the contents of the Kit, and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/user/harmantl.
Of the camera, Sue says, “We are really enthusiastic about it………..We hope you get lots and lots of fun from it”
The camera is supplied in a kit that also includes 10 sheets of 4 x 5 inch HARMAN DIRECT POSITIVE FB photographic paper, 10 sheets of 4 x 5 inch ILFORD DELTA 100 Professional film, and 10 sheets of 4x5 inch ILFORD MULTIGARDE IV RC paper that can be used in the camera to make a paper negative. All contained in a recognisable iconic ILFORD white box, with a Pinhole Exposure Calculator based on a design by Richard Koolish.
