    ^ I think if it were produced there would be loads of interest, though it would cost quite a bit to develop. If it's economically viable to bring back polaroid film (impossible project) then I'd say this would have more legs to it.

    Re: Film advancing: Cameras use a spool and sprockets to advance film, this idea doesn't reach the spool or have sprocket holes.

    For cameras with DX sensors, that technology could in theory even communicate the iso/aperture/shutter speed set on the camera.

    I think there's enough interest in older cameras to warrant a company to at least look into the viability of this. Cost and dust are the only major issues I see, keeping in mind the price of full-frame sensor cameras right now, this wouldn't be widely accessible.

    • There is no interest in old cameras from the photo companies, thats the point. forget the few purists and hobbyiests.Dodecahedron
    • hobbyists the companies arn't going to want to cater to them.Dodecahedron
