that means either milling the film rails or fit the whole unit within

unfortunately, there's a shutter mechanism that gets in the way of
doing that.


Could it work with medium format TLRs? The shutter is in the lens. That
old Rolleiflex in the closet could have a new life as a digital camera.


My 50s Rollei TLR produces lovely 77MP files without any modifications
whatsoever.
