These are the images taken in the video, the camera is the Minolta 35mmSLR with a AF zoom 35-70mm 1:3.5(22)-45. I wanted the Digipod to be as versatile as possible in the space available, so there is no hard memory, everything is saved to a micro sd card, plus it has a mini USB for direct connection to a computer and a built in battery. So for the last five years been looking for a way to make a digital film pod to replace the 35mm film for these cameras, there has been a number of prototypes and a very steep learning curve for me. Some are completely mechanical others have batteries to power meters, there are Nikons, Canons and a couple of Leicas’, in my eyes they are all works of art and I have taken some wonderful images with them, but they have not taken pictures for a number of years and that’s a sin. Via /4/digipod-slr-film-replacement/Īs a 58 year old ex-professional photographer I have for years been looking at a number of old analogue or as I call them wet film (refers to the developing process) SLR camera bodies that I used as a young professional, all of which are precision mechanical instruments, they all hold great memories and have taken some great images. Jackson is attempting to save the camera of his youth with his “DigiPod” campaign on Indiegogo, which is raising funds for the creation of a digital film pod to replace analog film and thus keep the cameras in use. And with the rapid disappearance of 35mm film developers, it seems these relics might soon become extinct. Well, if James Jackson has anything to do with it, you'll soon be able to re-use those old bodies and shoot digitally with them!įor James Jackson, a 58-year-old professional photographer, a traditional SLR camera represents an almost bygone era of photography. I'm guessing many of us have old cameras that shot film but we're either lazy or just love our old bodies and wish we could use them again.
