(no offense to anybody, I just find this too funny)

The Yashica Y35 is a 'digiFilm' Camera with Pretend Film Rolls

In about 20-30 years, they will be selling retro-cameras offering faux CMOS and CCD effects. Hipsters will be gaga for the digital pixel look!

awscreo · 07-20-2018, 10:47 AM

Haha, this is gold.

The Jinglish is quite amusing too:– “The world seen from the viewfinder of Y35, might be a little slower, a little prettier, transporting us back to a time when we all pay a little bit more attention, and causing us to care each shot before clicking the shutter – because it must solid the first tie or the moment is lost.”

Yeah, it's an amazing effort. The original timeline has them shipped last April, latest "Update" (June) shows Autocad-ish looking "photographs" of a "protoype" and sample pics worthy of a low end smartphone.

"Some people" will fall for "anything" if it seems retro

**UncleVanya** · 07-20-2018, 01:17 PM

This has hipster written all over it. I can't understand the appeal and wonder if the company making it did much research.

I'm not remotely offended by this idea - nor by anything else that constitutes a bit of harmless, if bizarre and absurd, nostalgia for its own sake. If you hand me one, it's not going to become a family heirloom or something, but I'll probably shoot with it for a while and be pleased and amused. This before handing it on to another aging "hipster."

Next stop - digi-cassette tapes, fairly simple - connect the "cassette" to your computer via usb, transfer strictly 90 minutes of music onto it, put the tape into the player and enjoy your music!

LensBeginner · 07-20-2018, 02:46 PM

Yeah there was a thread here when this thing was announced and publicized on DPCommercial...

LensBeginner · 07-20-2018, 03:01 PM

BTW, shooting the sample photos that supposedly show the capabilities/style of each "roll" could have been a fun challenge in itself... especially the ISO 1600 "film" add-on, which should have very poor DR, calculations suggest.
1/3.2" (same as iPhone 5) is 4.54 x 3.42... APS-C is 23.6 x 15.60, the ratio of sensor areas is 368.16 / 15.53 = 23.71, base 2 log is ~4.57...

So ISO 1600 on this thing is about the same as ISO 36000 on APS-C (roughly 4.5 stops)... it must have been fun placing the lights so the shot didn't have too much DR...

**AggieDad** · 07-20-2018, 03:10 PM

Well, it's not for me.

I do not shoot well enough to be able to afford using film – even faux-film.

Maybe it would be faux-money, but with my spray-and-pray technique even faux-money would make it an expensive hobby.

Right now I have to save all my faux-money to make my faux-bets on this fall's football games.

Their business. Now if someone would invent a digital recording media that could be inserted like a 35mm roll film THAT would be worth while!
