But you can do that with a current DSLR. Just put it in manual focus
and manual exposure modes and turn off the review. I sometimes work
that way.
I cut my photographic teeth 35 years ago with all manual equipment. Im
not particular nostalgic about those times, and I don't gush about old
manual equipment. But I do enjoy working that way once in a while. No
special camera needed. It's all there in any of the Pentax DSLRs.

Shame really, I would love a simple match needle or LED DSLR... no

no "modes", just the basics. Set your film speed, W/B, aperture

problem
using an accessory flash with the little look up chart on the
back ;-)
Retro-digital?
Yup, a Zenit 12XP or Spotmatic with a digital sensor instead of
film....no chimping, no fiddling around with menus to find some
obscure setting that in reality makes no difference to the end
result, no modes to shoot pictures of protons colliding in a
particle accelerator, no frown and facial recognition, nothing...
just the skill of the user to make a picture... :-)
