[vintagesnaps]

C'mon, all ya need is a ComeFundMyIndie-Go!Go!

Well those do actually work for some things, but somebody might have to go win the lottery for this one.

Yeah, how about an invention that lets us shoot film in a digital camera?

Try the film shelves at any good brick and mortar photography store. They have lots to choose from. Cheaper than a device to turn a digital camera into a film camera.

In 2001, the EFS-1 digital film was introduced. That is the company that folded. Their website is still up if you search on the net for it. Technology back then was only capable of 1.3 Mp and only 24 saved photos - a 2016 or later update will probably produce a much smaller/lighter yet greater size (e.g. Gb's) digital cartridge.

No it wouldn't

You would be better off with an Epson RD1 , Voigtlander RF with Nikon D70 sensor you have to cock the shutter every shot and it produces wonderful B+W

If someone did make it there would be those that would want it in a 110 cartridge for the camera they had 30 years ago.

Of course the Polaroid people would want it for their old Polaroid.

And let's not forget the Minox users.

After all fair is fair.

You are correct, after all fair is fair, they should come for all makes and models of camera.

A new sensor with every shot. Doesn't film do that?

Usually only with roll film. And not always.

Sheet film? Well, you're on your own with that.

If only they made a 4x5 sensor. You'd have to do your post work on an 80" monitor.
Mega Full Frame. Then again those terabit SD cards do get kinda pricey.

Does a digital film cartridge exist, wherein a digital cartridge can be dropped into a film camera that uses a 35mm film? I've heard of one that had its project folded back in the late 1990's ("silicon film" or "efilm"). There's apparently another modern iteration of it, but I can't find much more about it. Does anyone know more about this?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe possible to create a camera that scans the film as it passes onto the take up spool



(Is it April 1st yet?)

Well, in the mean time, I guess the next best thing is to use a film to digital file converter.

But that's a separate unit existing outside the film camera.
