digital back for sf1
Does anyone know of a retrofit digital back for Pentax SF 1? Ricoh
or other K mount body manufacturer? I have too many lenses to change from Pentax, and I am too cheap to buy a new body. Thanks. -- Posted at author's request, using moderated http://www.DigiForumz.com interface Thread archive: http://www.DigiForumz.com/digital-ba...pict11854.html |

Thanks. there aren't any digital backs for 35mm cameras and there is virtually no chance one will ever be made. if you have a lot of pentax k-mount lenses, then consider a stabilized pentax k100d or the non-stabilized k110d. they've been replaced so you can probably find a good deal on one, or find one used. you might find the older pentax *ist-d, ds, dl ds2 and dl2 cameras for even less. |

The LEICA DIGITAL -MODUL-R is a digital camera back designed to fit regular production LEICA R8 and R9 cameras. So your blanket statement is misinformation. If you don't know what you are talking about, it's best not to say anything and not be taken for an idiot. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0306/03...adigitalr9.asp Of course!! How silly of anyone to overlook such an everyday piece of hardware. There must be many, many thousands of them in use. Let me think, just how many Pentax DSLRs could be bought for the price of that Back. Roy G |

If you don't know what you are talking about, it's best not to say anything and not be taken for an idiot. i think it's fairly clear that i was referring to 35mm *slr* cameras because the original poster had a film slr, not a rangefinder. there are a number of issues that preclude making a digital back for a 35mm slr that do not necessarily apply to a rangefinder, the shutter being the obvious one. |

Just STFU before you embarass yourself even more. why i'm responding to a rude idiot i don't know but the leica is the sole exception. it's also not clear how well it actually works in practice. the original poster had a pentax and there are *no* digital backs for it, nor will there be. |
