Title: That's not a hack...............*THIS* is a hack!
Post by: RonVol on February 25, 2017, 07:28:12

A series of images showing someone hacking an F3 to create a 24x72mm panoramic camera.
I feel really sorry for the F3, but the guy deserves 10/10 for creativity.

Hacking the Nikon to make it blend with a plastic toy camera? The guy should have started with an Xpan. Or at least make the massaged camera accept XPan or similar lenses.

Yes I'm also stunned they didn't use another lens/front,,, I fail to see the point especial considering the resulting image,,,  :o :o :o

He says that the F3 was defunct, so I think it's a nice way to utilize the remaining parts.  Kinda concept similar to that of Df?!   :P
