Just email us via the floating button on the right side of any website page, and we’d be happy to put together an order for you! Some items are available for direct purchase on their pages of the website, but most orders are custom, so we just handle them via email, issuing a Paypal invoice.

Hi Tom,

Yes, Mercury will work with components from all of those camera systems. Just email us if you are interested in adding a Mercury to your kit. Besides being universal and infinitely configurable, it is also many times lighter than the three cameras you mention, and thus popular for handheld shooting and for hiking.

Cheers,
Zach

Hi Richard,

Indeed, the site as it currently exists is geared toward Mercury Kickstarter backers, and not toward people encountering Mercury for the first time. At some point in the future we will launch a web store, and when we do that, we will create a new homepage for the site that explains Mercury. I’ll add this, though: not being able to “tell where Mamiya ends and Mercury begins” is definitely part of the point! 馃槈 The best introduction to Mercury at this point is the User Guide, available on this site under Downloads. Another good place to go for info is the Mercury Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/mercuryworks

Best regards,
Zach

I checked the Website pretty thoroughly but couldn’t find a way to purchase Mercury and its components. I just moved to Tokyo and am thinking about buying a used medium format camera, that I can use as is, then also use it’s components (back and lens) on a Mercury to get me started. I have not started shopping yet, but could be an RB67, Mamiya Press, Horseman? It will be a fun process.

I’ve found your website via a search for a Fuijifilm Instax back. The principles and goals you are looking to achieve are right on. I’m struggling however to actually find your Mercury Camera on this site.

You’ve got masses of information on components from other manufacturers and their history but I can’t for the love of me find a picture of your Mercury Camera at least not one where it’s easy to distinguish what part is Mercury vs Mamiya/Norseman/Hasselblad/etc. There doesn’t appear to be a link to a page on the main menu to the camera either.

The same can be said of the “Mercury Backs” page. The pictures and text appear to be Mamiya and Norseman backs and not having used either before any reasonable person in my position can’t tell where Mamiya ends and Mercury begins….

Can you please edit so it makes more sense to a beginner?

Thanks and good luck.

Absolutely! Our 35mm Panoramic conversion of the RB67 back, combined with a good non-retrofocal WA lens turns the Mercury into a pretty good panoramic camera, with approximately the same dimensions as the Xpan format. I hope to see a bunch of people using it that way in the future, and will definitely continue making these kits. Thanks for your comment!

After the demise of Hasselblad/Fuji X-pan there’s no serious 35mm flatback panoramic camera available in the market.
