@@josecolon8143 . Very, I hope a lot of people invest in him. If we can get a product like this into a somewhat smaller form factor. it will be perfect. I would buy it in a heart beat
@@josecolon8143 . there are some digital backs for medium format cameras. but they are very expensive. If people invest in in research and development this could be an affordable solution.
At last after a long time a universal digital back for film cameras.It means a new life for my several Nikons ,Mamiya Canon and many other cameras . Thank you very much .
Price is a little bit high, you can get a second hand camera in good shape totally digital for USD100. Buuut never the less this guy made it he made what so many other companies couldnt, not kodak, no digital film, no canon nikon, etc. Like someone said, with some glue and craftmanship he made the imposible, or at least the unthinkable. Good job!!!!
Companies have made them since the early 90s and continue to make them, though new ones seem to typically be very expensive - they seem to aim at very high end now, for example medium format cameras with backs that go up to 100MP ! eg: these are some Kodak digital backs that started in the early 90s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_DCS They were relatively popular early on, but lost their appeal once digital SLRs improved. There's some used ones on ebay, though they seem to hold their value a lot more than digital cameras. Presumably the larger companies don't make lower cost/smaller format digital backs, as they don't think the market is big enough to be worthwhile. Most people would probably just use old lenses on digital bodies.
This is one of those things that many may not be interested in now but in say 2 or 4 generations of the design from now will be completely badass. I would love to bring my 38-year-old AE-1 back to life as a digital camera. And to get that video film look direct to digital will be worthwhile for many film makes i’m sure. Love the passion here. I wont be an early adopter but watching with interest. Did anyone see if mentioned there was an HDMI out. That screen is very small and would prefer to shoot to an Atmos.
He's almost certainly using a native 4k sensor(which is presumably tiny/cheap), whereas without cropping the Canon might have to scale from 30MP(about 6.5k horizontal) to 4k on the fly. It looks like the Canon is cropping to get a direct 4k area from the centre of the sensor to avoid scaling(which would presumably require fairly hefty processing power).
Been waiting for this for a long time! There is definitely a market for this. I wish you luck and cant wait to try it myself! Would love to see one for medium format cameras.
i really don't understand this project. and i'm not trying to be hater, i swear. Ok, vintage lenses are really great, they have interesting character and render in novel ways. i love them! film is amazing, i love shooting film, i've never stopped i love digital but i don't see myself ever stopping shooting film it's just cool. it looks good. it gives a certain aesthetic that can't be totally quantified. old camera bodies? i love them. they're cool, they're nice in the hand and it's always surprising to see how well designed these older cameras are. but here's the deal: vintage lenses work as well on digital bodies as they do on digital bodies. a digital sensor? well that's whats in a digital camera. so adding it to a film camera's body doesn't really do much other than put into play the limitations for the shutter, the stabilization, the sensitivity limitation inherent to older bodies. i don't think there's an aesthetic advantage to the shutter mechanism in older bodies, do you? now the usability. add a bunch of weight, change the shape of the body, incorporate vital features into an added on to a not properly considered design. now: how many photos would you have take to justify the cost of this thing versus just winding some film through it. so the whole desire to use an older camera body in a digital context seems to be zeroed out by the design of the product it would make more sense to just shoot film. i love my vintage camera body but i'm not planning to buy this, i'll spend that money on film and just adapting my lenses to digital cameras.

Funny I did this back in 2008 by putting in a CCD inside a film cartridge and using a ribbon cable to go to an external board to turn a SLR cam into a video camera and had excellent results.
The opening reminded me of a production i was in. A line was "I love you and i want you back" but was delivered as, "I want you and i love your back" Also, I've been waiting for this innovation for my FM2.
But.... We have had digital backs for some time. But you lock your mirror up, do you? So the viewfinder becomes useless. I just crew my BMPCC ontop the prism. Or my LF camera with a printed back to MFT adapter.
I'm not hating, but the concept does not make sense at all. Using a Leica + lens to project an image to a 35mm focusing screen and then filming that from behind with a tiny digital sensor does not really make it fullframe. You would have to replace the focusing screen with a true fullframe digital sensor in order to not lose any image quality from those great Leica lenses. By the way, the whole assembly is quite big and old Leica cameras/lenses are expensive as hell anyways.
Exactly! And if it's about the old, high-quality lenses, you can simply adapt any of them to modern mirrorless cameras. I don't see anyone buying this digital back...
Hi Moni..I'm interested,yet i was trying to understand what's it's really about,yet that guy interviewing him kept interrupting and leading the conversation..
If I had an Hasselblad, I would buy right away a digital backpack. It fits perfectly to this camera type. But with a more traditional SLR camera, it gets too bulky, specially where the sensor is...
Even I think making any 35mm film camera digital is a must because 35mm film cameras are obsolique. If someone came up with this 35mm digital film invention must be done as soon as possible.
Now that is a great one to have. Great for making long TH-cam movies and videos. Even using a 500GB mini storage card is the best one to get for making your own independent movies. The TH-cam founders and owners love to use this for great TH-cam distributed independent movies. Not only for TH-cam, but also for Dailymotion and others. A perfect 5 star rating all the time!
He believes Leica cameras are "very old"!! His project caved in, as some people mount (via an adapter) oldie lenses onto their digital cameras. And that's because there is something wrong with digital....
I'm a self entitled millennial who knows nothing of the ways of the past like film shooting... but this is actually pretty cool. Like... It's such a cool idea!

Hey after a iteration or two, it'll look better and be more functional. Can't wait to see what it'll become over the years.

Hi...sorry for delayed response...pandemic, hard work...etc...but, Yes, have a HDMI...thanks for your comment! Follow us... www.imback.eu
While I merely wondered if this concept was feasible (back in the 35MM adapter to 3CCD camera days), someone else finally made it happen.
I wish this guy to be successful!
... In flattening that ginormeous backwards-poking monstrosity rendering use of the optical viewfinder a no-go.
He looks like an older version of Casey Neistat ...
God this make shift attachment made of hot glue and zipties can do 4K video with no crop and the EOS R can't... Come on Canon
He's almost certainly using a native 4k sensor(which is presumably tiny/cheap), whereas without cropping the Canon might have to scale from 30MP(about 6.5k horizontal) to 4k on the fly.

This guy is a champion what a clever set up.
I wish him the very best in his endeavors...He deserves to succeed! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I NEEEEED this to be legit! Please keep making upgrades to this! I LOVE this idea! WANT!!
Looks like the best try at this so far. We had a lot of big companies failing at producing one of these.
Vey good idea for old cameras hope you have more and more ideas
Awesome! Great success!
Nicely done! I hae done that like 12 years ago , should have patented my idea.
This guy hit it out of the park! Why Kodak didn’t think of this? He’s awesomely funny!!!
Well, Kodak put their sensor in the Leica M9, which was the first digital fullframe mechanical rangefinder camera in 2009. So...
This is a great one to have, even making digital 35mm camera videos without any 8mm film camera.
LOVING IDEA !
Legend has it that companies like Canon, Nikon and Sony make all of their modern cameras this way.
Canon and Nikon hate this man! ... click here to know his secret formula!
Most awesome interview so far from cinema 4D 👊🏼

A great one to use. Even I thought a standard 35mm film camera is a new option making digital video.
Is there a system that you can use that just pops into the film spot?
Great character. Great idea. I wish a more high end version (FF) that doesn’t remove the back would emerge.
Great idea, and interesting approach. Needs a bit of refining that will certainly come. Great work!!!
This would be awesome combined with the new high quality Pi camera.
This is great for making TH-cam movies and drama plays. It is a great TH-cam's video dream forever!
