Just wondering if you guys are still on track for delivery at the end of the month?

Yes we are still on track. And as many of you might understand we are busy, busy, busy. At the moment there is 28+ people working to a tight deadline.

The aim is still end of 2008. Fingers crossed!

Ikonoskop likely is caught in the nefarious 80-20 rule. Whenever I work on a project I also find myself caught by it.

It will take you only 20% of the total project time to get the project 80% done. The final 20% of the project will take 80% of the time.

This is a variant of the good ol' saying, "The Devil is in the details." The final matching up of a myriad little details (like, I don't know, the analog-to-digital converter settings, or molding the styrofoam for the shipping boxes) always takes more time than most people ever would have predicted.

So cut Ikonoskop some slack. You saw it happen with RED. Now it's happening with Ikonoskop.

And RED, some might argue, are still going. When in doubt release a new model to get your science project back on track. I hope Ikonoskop have learnt slot from RED's mistakes and there have been plenty! If the DII offers the same or better picture quality with the benefit of RED's mistakes (resulting in a stable camera) I'll be thrilled.

(Fill in the blank):

Red is ran by an _______ that has a billion _______ clamoring for ________on a very ________ Bulletin board.

(The censor probably wouldn’t like the way I filled it out)

I have not seen what I would “fill in the blanks with” out of Ikonoskop, I’ve seen progress, and a very low key way of how they do it and when they will.
This makes me very interested.

is the cameras out? how is your progress now?

Delayed until February is the last I heard. Happy 2009!

I have assembled quite a kit and wondered if we are likely to see an A-cam DII on the street early or late next month. My sachtler kit and 11-165 await...as well as a host of other bits. I hope the OLPF has done the trick!
