You can get digital backs for a lot of the better film cameras. Slip the old one off and the digital back on. |

You mean like the never-quite-made-it-to-market Irvine of about ten years ago? [link]. |

so close, so teasingly, promisingly possible and yet I cannot
buy one. Somebody, re-tool your cheap korean knockoff
camera factory today, there's money here. And forget the
patent, all you need is some bells and whistles and bob's
your uncle. |

i imagine that a nowadays-digital camera, that can
swap lenses is still a pretty penny. While the used analogs are not so bad. Am i wrong? I've quit
even going to the pawn shop with mine. Not of
value there, as it were. |

I'm at an initial stage of a brainstorm ( where
stupid is as welcome as not stupid ), a universal
do-hickey that combines with the mirrors to allow
view finder viewing of the pics, vid. |

yea, sure the Ol aperature can be open or closed .
No film to react.
... |
|
| |
um , well still working on it. I take back my , 'yea,
sure. |

I had not thought of this before. I like it.
If only they hadn't used 35mm to begin with. So
un-Inchs. |

Good investment - the Voigtlander VF135 goes for a lot more than £20 now |
|

Over the last many years (basically since finding my dad's old Voigtländer camera* in the
basement), I've occasionally thought about making this kind of thing. However, a couple of
months ago, I looked into image sensors, and I was unable to find one at Digi-?[Kk]ey, Mouser,
or Arrow that was similar in size to a 35 mm film frame. |
|
| |
Another thought I had was to use reusable film to actually capture the image (because, in a
film camera, being designed to have only film go there, there's not much thickness available
for inserting things at the focal plane), which would then be reeled into one of the cylindrical
spaces on the sides of the camera, scanned, and erased. But I don't know of any kind of
erasable light-sensitive film. |

*Not sure what model; I haven't seen it in a few years. Will have to find it again at some point. |

// These have been around for ages. // |

Hmm. Some of those images look pretty promising, but I
don't have time at the moment to investigate them further.
My only question now is: How did I never even hear a rumor
of such things being available in my past (extensive)
searches? |
|
| |
On the other hand, while lying in bed a couple of nights ago, I
came up with another application for reusable film. I think it
was to be able to project digital video using film projectors. |
