Title: Brand new film camera from a company beginning with 'I' or is is "H" or "T"?
Post by: This-is-damion on September 17, 2014, 08:06:09 AM: Its basically an Ilford (Harman) Titan pinhole in 120 format!

Looks amazing... but cant find the pictures on line and cant access the Facebook from work

Urban posted a pic, looks good though and something I'm sure I will dive into.

Post by: AJShepherd on September 17, 2014, 09:23:50 AM: Ilford posted a picture of the new 120 Titan on their twitter, so I've attached it here.

I'd been hoping they were going to do a 120 Titan, as while i still fancy getting the 5x4 model this would be easier to use without having to buy extras to handle and develop the film.

Looks nice. Wonder if it'll have some kind of masking plates you can put inside to shoot 6x6 or 6x9?

Post by: Francois on September 17, 2014, 02:31:17 PM: I must admit that they outdid themselves this time. But I wonder what the green bungees are for?

I just hope it's going to be affordable...

Post by: Adam Doe on September 17, 2014, 03:25:17 PM: I just received a tweet from @ILFORDPhoto in response to my query of whether it would shoot 6x12 and then replied that: "Hopefully it will be multi format :)"

It looks like the bungees hold the back on. I suspect it will be under $5,000.

Post by: astrobeck on September 17, 2014, 04:21:46 PM: I asked them if I could be a tester and they replied that since they only had the one prototype that wasn't possible.... :(

I would love to have one for travel in the desert!

Post by: Francois on September 17, 2014, 09:34:21 PM: Maybe we could bulk mail them asking that he gets one ;)
That would definitely force the bear out of the cave ;D

Post by: Francois on September 18, 2014, 08:36:08 PM: Looking at the picture, I think I've figured out why the bungee!

The lens cone appears to be inserted from the back side and held in place with the film transport back. The bungee holds the entire camera together and has to be released with the locking nut (I don't know how it's called... the thing we have on jackets to make the waist adjustable)... sneaky.

what has me curious is that I don't see any obvious counter window.

Post by: soeren on October 25, 2014, 03:37:09 PM: Thats because of the motordrive ;D could be a dummy?
Title: Re: Brand new film camera from a company beginning with 'I' or is is "H" or "T"?
Post by: Francois on October 25, 2014, 09:31:21 PM: They could use some type of clicker... or a rotating indicator wheel like on the sprocket rocket...
My best guess is that the production version will have a red window in the center.

Post by: Ed Wenn on October 26, 2014, 01:11:24 AM: Looks very interesting. I love that Ilford/Harmon's one concession to 'funky' design is green bands. No sex please, we're British.
;) :)

Also, I think it will retail for less than $4999.

My guess would be windows, especially if its gonna be a multi format model, 6X6 - 6X9 or even 6X12

C'mon Leon, spill the beans. Have you had the privilege of giving this a trial run? If so, is it any good?
