Hi,

I was very inspired by the project from the verge where they basically mounted a rudimentary raspberry pi setup INTO an analog camera.

I own quite a lot of film cameras and I have to say that the prospect of shooting digital with my great old lenses is VERY atractive to me.

It seems to me like it could be doable with no permanent modification to the camera body.

What do you think of this project?

Hi, Indeed when the HQ cam module was launched, it really opened the way to many means of retro-fitting it into existing solution. This is a great example of integration. The only drawback I could see from a hardware point of view is that quite some projects are often unable to include into their design the power source, but that is the difficulty when you have to work from an existing frame as opposed to create your own one from scratch. But this is indeed a great project to get inspired from and thumb up to Becca Farsace for pulling it out !

Regards, Pierre-yves
