Well its not finished yet so I would wait until it is before I pass judgement.

A brave project by an imaginative engineer. He truly deserves the title...

I'm quite missing the point of it, but it's a lot of work.

The point being making a new camera work and look like a retro cam. People like to do that.

Some people (like me) like just tinkering. I made a 'digital back' with my NEX for a 100 year old camera. I have had some looks when using it!

I agree. I also love that. Remember that Asian guy who has built a Sony digicam inside a fake Leica?

I think it's a fantastic idea and what a way to utilise old, non functioning slrs, there must be thousands of good models waiting to be used ....
Good for him.

Brilliant idea to save $2500 on a Df, haha.

An amazing way to breathe new life into an old Nikon Classic!
