How to make your own Digital Leica!

Yes indeed. Scary last picture. Can - with some difficulty- understand why people collect original WW2 uniforms etc, even if they are German, but people with fake Nazi stuff I just don't get.

I agree. Seems a bit sad considering the history.

But the camera had me intrigued.
 
...but we do have to give the guy credit for the job, even with his bad taste in uniforms.
 
elsewhere on RFF there is a post with videos of both this camera AND of another japanese DIY'r who did the same thing using a real LTM leica as the basis for his engineering "feat."
 
If you want to take pictures of your WWII re-enactment group, then you need a period camera. So it makes sense

What is guy has done is to cut a "sony" sized hole in an old camera, and stuff a digicam in it.
Isn't the point of a rangefinder, to use the viewfinder, and interchangeable lenses?

Paying USD 140 for the shell of a camera was too much i think.
 
cool, I have seen this before, but dont understand why they dont put in a D-Lux 3 or 4 and make it a "real" leica digital.

That would be too expensive for most people.

This is more of a "project" IMO... Once it's complete it would probably end up in a desk draw.
I can't imagine anybody getting any reasonable use out of such a device.
