A crude (certainly not fit and finished like a sleek, 1970's rangefinder)

stick to digital cameras and use a used film camera with actual film to get
an "effect." In reality, it's like something you used to get free with a
"Time-Life" magazine subscription in the mid 1990's.

I have a feeling you posted the wrong URL. Was this the one you had in mind?

that is one of the dumbest ideas i've seen in a very long time. what's
worse is that it's from an established company rather than a bunch of
hipsters who don't know any better.

I think it's the intended customers who are the "hipsters" who don't
know any better.
