Digital twin lens reflex.
I enjoyed playing with a friend's much prized Rolleiflex film camera. Do
digital versions exist for cameras of this class? I was not able to search one out. -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not." in Reply To. |

I have a Mamya C220 that I retired a few years ago. As much as i loved it, my 50D beat it . I plan to keep it though as I doubt I could get ten dollars for it. -- https://www.createspace.com/3707686 |

Pretty soon, all optical view cameras will be gone. maybe, but not until the mirrorless cams are fast enough for sports and journalism work, not to mention other uses, like BIF. I'm a mirrorless user only, and don't see that on the horizon. |

It also has an optical finder, which I made sure of before I bought it. -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not." in Reply To. |

Depending on WHAT aspect you were enjoying, you might like the things flip out view screens can do for you. http://www.wexphotographic.com/blog/...ip-out-screens BugBear |

It also has an optical finder, which I made sure of before I bought it. My current cam, a GH3 is excellent in sunlight and even better in dim light. The EVF is well-shielded so sunlight never reaches it. The LCD screen is usable in sunlight, but will wash out a bit. I rarely use the LCD for shooting, only reviewing and menu settings. Which P&S do you have? I've never seen one with a really usable OVF. Most, like the Canon G series show only about 80% of the actual image, which is horrible (for me...). |

LCD screens aren't what is going to dominate, unless you shoot with a phone. EVF's are going to be the norm shortly. They already eclipse optical viewfinders in a few areas. BTW, I saw someone shooting with a TLR today, it's kind of a novelty. Finding someone to develop 120 films is also fun. Pretty funny. Over the weekend I shot a roll of 120 with my Yashica Mat 124G and a roll with my Minox B. The Minox drew a few stares. I just had the Minox CLA'd and it seems to work fine. I'll know in a week or so when the film returns. Damn. Remember those days? |
