@Gargron Don't like it, sorry.

@screwtape @fosskers I hate loop soooo much, every time I see it, it gnaws at me like an open wound

@thomasfuchs Except that they've been moving their computers towards a walled garden model constantly over the past 10 years.

The 'disposable' digital cameras you can get are probably cheaper and better quality than anything you'd get cobbling together a retro-film camera solution. Cobbling together something to reuse pre-digital cameras is somewhat pointless, you end up spending a fortune engineering around the focal depth issue and getting the sensor as thin and towards the front of whatever solution you do, that it becomes prohibitively expensive. 1/2

@mhd @Colman The only real advantage to re-using pre-digital, would be the existing marrket of lenses, but that's not an issue with 110 and 126 because they were always fixed lens cameras. Plus, The only lens format that isn't really covered by new digital cameras, is M42, and mirrorless cameras don't have the focal depth issue that dSLRs have, and can use M42 easily anyway. 2/2
