So the campaign for this instant depth map making light field lens closed down due to, you guessed it, money!

This just goes to show the classic blunder in that if you don't have your finances in order then you can't do business. It sounds like an investor problem or possibly even Carl Zeiss Jena GMBH not seeing enough interest right away and backed out. Now, honestly, if that were the case, I would think it would be a great opportunity for RED to get into the light field game and set things straight to get these guys going! Of course that's just a dream at this point but it's a shame that their campaign got called off as I was looking forward to a universal Nikon F mount light field lens to use on everything from my old 5D Mark II to my RED One MX and future cameras. Bummer!
