Are you ready for the revolution? I know I am. Can't wait to go out shooting with my old Leica again.

Such a weird concept.

Like... Why?

Okay, I know why. People think "Wow, I love this old analog camera, but film is expensive and annoying to work with compared to digital". But slapping this big bulky bitch on an old analog camera means it won't feel like your old analog camera anymore. It'll feel like one of those transitional monstrosity digital SLRs from the very early age of digital.

Pretty much the only camera this even *vaguely* makes sense for would be a Leica, just because digital rangefinders are still so expensive even on the used market, but 90% of the reason someone buys a Leica is for the feel of shooting a Leica, and this won't give you that anymore.

It just feels like they designed a product for what people were incorrectly asking for instead of what they actually wanted.

Kind of nice but I don't think it will make me shoot my Leica again. I'm probably the only one here who doesn't enjoy shooting with a Leica cam though :|

Why would you do this if you can just as well buy an olympus/fuji digital camera for less money...

It'd be cooler if someone made a sensor thing that would fit where the film would go instead of a oneoff for some random camera.

The problem is, you need more than just a sensor. You need a storage medium (sd/flash/cf/etc), anAsic/processor/fpga to carry data between the two, power management circuitry and of course a battery. Never mind that you of course need some way to interface with the user, although that could be bodged onto somehow. Anyway, if you add all those extra things it takes up far more space than you might think.

I've better idea. Crop sensor, may be as low as 1 inch. Fit it to a dback with speedbooster built in in front of it and acting as a mount for classic lenses!

Who is joining my limited inc.?

Does the new version still work by taking a picture of a focusing screen and thus resulting in absolute shit tier photos?

It's definitely cool.

This is not something targeted towards purist assholes like pretty much all of /p/, myself included. This is supposed to make photography fun again

I'm thinking about getting one for my Yashica Lynx 14e. Most of you have forgotten how to have fun. There's nothing wrong with snapshitting, there's a time to be technical and a time to just have fun. In my bag, with my Df, probably 5 or 6 grand worth of glass, is a Nikon Lite-touch point and shoot 35mm. I have some shitty 2mp digital cameras for the /dst/.

Go out and have fun again.
