I feel they really missing out with their lens design, just put a few mock rings to make me believe stuff.
I want a lever too, digital cameras should have more levers.

I think it looks great, but it's just a fancy Camp Snap for I'm sure a whole lot more.

Name is pretty awful though - Echolens? Was Optoglass taken?

Edit - if you look at the images on their site, the quality is way worse than the Camp Snap!

Image quality is dreadful based on the two samples shown on their one-page website. Looks like a dollar store "M-inspired" camera.

They definitely have the look of images from 80s and 90s disposable film cameras, especially when using the built-in flash. So in that sense, calling them nostalgic makes perfect sense.

I don't even think those pics were taken w the camera. Does the camera actually exist? I know it is a Kickstarter which always works out so great...
