Taurus Technologies "HyperCamera"

Has anyone tried the HyperCamera from Taurus Technologies. It is advertised on page 108 of February's S&T and they have a web site at www.taurus-tech.com.

On the plus side, this 35mm camera sounds very light weight and simple. The dessicant cell and window sound interesting, exspecially for hypered film. But I have concerns.

The focusing idea uses a parfocal lens. The shutter seems to be a hat trick sort of thing. And I'm wondering about internal reflections off of the optical glass window they use to isolate the film compartment.

Please post any comments, thoughts or experiences with this camera.

Thanks,
Phil Terzian
