The Frankenflex

Hey cool... It's great to see the classic stuff still being used like the Leica Gods intended. 🙂

So much of this stuff just sits on shelves collecting dust.
 
Funny that someone has put a lot effort into adding a mirror to what Panasonic took years to design OUT of the camera in the first place. 🙄

Indeed! Which demonstrates once again: what can be done, will be done. Or to put it differently: we do stuff because we can!
 
On the one hand I am happy about the little revolution that mirror-less interchangable cameras have brought on. Just about anything that can let light through is being stuck on them.

But on the other hand, I cringe looking at this!
 
Interesting way to use exising Visoflex gear but it's seems rather fruitless. Your converting a mirrorless system to a mirror system, not to mention the micro 4/3 has a 2x crop factor and the Visoflex viewfinder will shows a 1x crop factor. Why not use an M adapter and EVF (as I do with my E-P2) to see exactly what you're getting? Works with any M lens. Visoflex lenses can be used too with appropriate adapters.

was just about to comment about the crop factor but was beaten to it. Ive tried this out and it works but you need to make a mask for the focusing screen for it to work well
