Default Digital Insert


"Ted Clore" wrote in message et...
Who makes an insert that would fit into the film compartment of your camera so that it will convert a 35mm into a digital?

If no one does, I get royalties for thinking it up when they do. I have thousands of dollars (like so many of you) worth of lens, cameras and equipment. And it would be nice to be able to use them with digital capabilities.

I think someone thought of it already....But I believe that it still has good potential. - I think it should include a camera back that would have an lcd screen. Then you would pretty well have a complete conversion kit that changes your film camera into a digital one. Changing the backs on most top of the line film cameras is possible, so the conversion shouldn't be all that difficult. - At least mechanically. Interfacing the digital electronics with the camera's current film transport electronics might be a different matter........
