The Echolens Kickstarter has only been live for a couple of days, and judging by the fact that it’s already exceeded its $30,000 / £21,879 / AU$45,929 target, it certainly seems like the camera's retro good looks and promise to deliver a vintage shooting experience have captured plenty of interest. At the time of writing, a whopping $129,742 / £94,451 / AU$198,212 has been pledged by 1,110 backers, which is extremely good news for the retro compact outfit and with 28 days to go, there's plenty of time for more backers to jump on board.

The Echolens will be available in a brown or black leatherette, with the possibility of more colors should the Kickstarter meet 2,500 backers (Image credit: Echolens)
