Fantastic!

Thanks for posting!

Maybe the next project is to mount the innards of a u4/3 in a Barnack 😉

A digital Zorki, no less. Clever, and it looks well designed and executed. I wouldn't try to build it from those directions, though.

Amazing! If only i am good at DIY... i cheap digicam + Canon P sounds good.....

 

[PatrickT]

Wow, that is awesome 😀

Wow this camera is going a better job at looking like a digital Barnack than the X1.

 

[BillBingham2]

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

I was thinking the same thing ... damned clever too IMO!

Plenty of cheap Zorkis around in case you don't get it right first time! 😀

No point, only one lens.

Would be nice if there was a way to keep rangefinder coupling and interchangeable lenses. Essentially just sticking a sensor and card slot into the camera (who needs the LCD?). Fixed ISO? 🙂

 

[Keith]

No point, only one lens.

Only one lens yes ... but maybe if he reversed the front element in that lens?

that's a marvellous thing -- a "digi" even I could imagine to buy;-)

 

[Matus]

So he used the poor old camera as a trash bin 😛

 

[Keith]

I want to see someone do this to a dead M8! 😀

Looks like a WAY better conversion then the two Hacked-up FEDs I saw on the "Roll on the Meuse" Tour. They didn't pass the 5 yard test.

I like the way all the controls are available. Well done to that guy.

I'd buy one of these if they were ever officially offered though! 😀 (ARE YOU LISTENING LEICA!!! 😛 )

 

[Avotius]

Inspired! That really is a cool thing.

Hilarious???? No, No, NO:>>> this guy is my hero.................!

I came across another fellow who did this... ...can't find the link 🙁 Can't remember if he used an old Leica or FSU body.

 

[Monz]

Totally amazing.
