UPS Stupidy

I ordered some stuff from Lee Valley Tools to support my other hobby. Working on the theory that I am never home when UPS wants to deliver, and I don’t really want a bunch of expensive tools sitting in a box on my back landing, I changed the delivery to pick up at one of their outlets that is

Actually if the imaging surface and camera box, because that stupid protrusion is another camera box were replaced with an actual sensor you might be able to attach the thing to the back of a film camera with a removable back, or maybe remove the back from a less valuable film camera, and this

Well, since the registration from the take up spool and the to the film gate to the film ratchet to the film cartridge is different for pretty much every camera, I'll bet if it ever hits the market it will be for a select few camera models who's manufactures names start with C or N with the

I'd much rather just use my cell phone at this point. The IQ is far better (beyond decent really) and the whole phone was cheaper than this device. This is a solution in search of a problem. Same goes for the new Yashica toy camera. Like WTF is really the point of that? The camera in my cell phone

This is for people that want to pretend like they are using a modern digital retro SLR. You know? The people that want a digital K1000. Which would make about as much sense. Ok well, maybe slightly more because it might at least have decent IQ. There is nothing redeeming about this project at all

I doubt if you'd be happy with the implementation, though. Your old, nice camera creates an image on a ground glass focussing screen. Then this device takes a picture of that image from the other side of he glass, using a tiny little camera of unknown optical quality. If I wanted a device to
