Major updates:
- Light meter will display recommended aperture by half stops. More detailed F/# will improve the experience for proper exposure.

Quickly multi click the film-eject button 4 times to change the default F/# display from ‘with NFE’ to ‘w/o NFE’. Please multi click it when no film inside.

We will send out the survey to collect your delivery & upgrade info 2 weeks earlier before NFE is ready for shipping. And keep you updated about the production progress.
Based on current situation, we have a good chance to start shipping earlier in May. We will try our best to accelerate the production process. Please stay tuned!
