Review: Take time with it! - There is definitely a learning curve, but be patient with yourself, and the NeoLucida. Follow the instructions provided, and it will work. It did take me a little while of playing with it (maybe 30 minutes), but it works great once you understand it!
Review: eye piece.. what? - Well Made... insanely tedious to set up and use due the the eyepiece being crazy small. If the eyepiece was twice as big it MIGHT negate this issue. That being said, It is well made, well packaged and functions as intended.. Maybe it cost too much to make a bigger prism? I mean ,, it seem like the the resources and quality went to all the other components, Clamp with nice padding so it wont scratch furniture, goose neck, nice strong, stable. housing around the eyepiece is machined well with threads that holds securely but then there is the eyepiece (1/4 inch? ) ummm... what? also, one has to get the lighting just right to be able to see the subject and the pencil on your paper. Even then You have to move your head/eye to see the detail you are trying to achive. Also, product should come with a backbrace. luckily I can return it, .... Dang I had high hopes...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi Golan and Pablo, I'm in Australia.  When will international shipping be available. Naturally, I can't order until then, and you'll probs be out of**
A: We have been extremely frustrated with Amazon's opaque rules about international shipping. We have been furiously working to find a stopgap. But in the short term, options are limited, like using a "forwarding service." Longer term (after the holidays), we will likely work on a totally revamped ordering system, possibly from our own site, which will truly be global. So please forgive the inconvenience; a little more patience and you can order one soon.

**Q: Why does my image always appear upside down?**
A: It sounds like you're misaligned. Don't look through the prism; instead, look down past the edge of the prism. You should be looking at your real hand, and a ghost image of your subject. The prism shield should be oriented at precisely 45º to the table; if it's even 10 degrees off, your subject will be upside-down or squashed. For best results, position your eye half an inch (1cm) away from the prism's edge.

**Q: What is the optimum portrait size. Does the viewer  and prism need to be bigger to get something bigger than 9x12?**
A: Authentic camera lucidas (like the NeoLucida) are known for producing fairly small portraits, such as would fit on the page of a sketchbook. That said, if you want to produce a larger image, then (1) move closer to your portrait subject, and (2) extend the eyepiece further away from your drawing surface. The distance between your eye and your pencil-point is the main limit on the size of your drawings. Interestingly, a larger prism wouldn't help -- it just increases the likelihood of errors in your drawing. In fact, the NeoLucida is truly ideal for producing miniatures. Great masters like Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres used this small size to great effect. In his book "Secret Knowledge", David Hockney expresses his astonishment at the unnaturally small size of Ingres' portraits, which seemed almost magical as a result -- as if they were drawn by elves.

**Q: Is this a good buy**
A: I bought two of them about a year ago and I still have one in the box. It works but isn't easy to use. We had half a dozen people try it out and no one had good results. The very best were just okay. Save your money or buy an antique camera lucida on eBay.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ancient tool of the masters is now in our hands (It's about time!)
*by J***. on December 12, 2013*

Admiration can easily lead someone to overemphasizing the good and hiding (What is perceived as) the bad in others. Art historians that admire the ancient masters have done the same thing over the years; many ancient masters would use a prism (Camera lucida) or a projector (Camera obscura) as an aid to draw pictures, which explains how some old pictures and paintings are so photo-realistic that they can sometimes look indistinguishable from a photograph. Knowing that ancient masters used such techniques tarnishes their reputation of being super-human in their ability to draw, or at least this is the fear of art historians that want to minimize or refuse to acknowledge the use of camera lucidas/obscuras. This subject can be quite polarizing. I personally believe that such tools help AUGMENT talent rather than REPLACE it, so it doesn't detract from the wonderful works of art they helped to create. Until now, an affordable and easy to use camera lucida has never been readily available, but the NeoLucida has filled this gap. The NeoLucida is a prism on a snake-like bendable cord (Similar to USB lights you can find elsewhere) and a clamp to keep it stable on a table surface. The device will not give you magical artistic abilities, but it will AUGMENT your artistic abilities and allow you to focus more on your drawing technique. When I first received my NeoLucida, I thought "Everything I do will be wonderful!", but the first couple of attempts did not turn out very good. I realized that thoughtful effort was required to make a good drawing, and from that point on my drawings have been improving. This is the "secret weapon" of the ancient art world, and it's about time that they can be in the hands of anybody that has a few dollars. While the NeoLucida does not promise miracles, it will certainly make drawing much more rewarding. You can literally trace what is directly in front of you.
