Quin hasn’t seen this yet so..
I was surprised to see this is actually made by Rollei, and not just a crappy revival of a vintage-looking design - although this is miniaturised (are 1920s design registrations/trademarks even still valid?). The assumption then would be that it produces images which are (aside from the obvious limitations of film vs digital) pretty similar to the original - and I’m wondering if [one of the reasons] they shrunk it was because of the difference in size between film and a CCD sensor (requiring them to shrink the distance of the sensor from the optics, as in a modern dSLR). I would be worried that it was some kind of pinhole camera (the article specifically says ‘autofocus’ which starts to ring alarm bells) but it says it goes down (up?) to F2.8. Nice.
Interestingly (perhaps) I have an old Kodak (I think) camera which I intend, one day, to fuse unnaturally with the guts of a broken olympus digital camera.
Here’s all you need to know.
