This interesting. I have Nikon N80 with a broken back cover. The latches broke off. Otherwise a really good film camera. I keep an eye on this.

Your N80 with a broken back is not worth $50 and they want more than $300 for this back.

The bulge on the back looks like it would make it horribly awkward to use. I keep coming back to the same question. Why? If you want to shoot your old 35mm then shoot film.

It puts an SLR focusing screen in the film gate, and has a digital camera in the base to photograph that screen via a mirror. I would not pay $50 for it as a toy. Appears to be some engineering student’s design exercise run amok. Rather “haute crude”. As a solution in search of a problem, it’s a perfect case study.

Interesting video.
My Minolta Maxxum is still sitting in my garage for 23 years ever since I bought the first digital pocket camera. Still don't know what to do with it.

You might want to check the foam seals on it. The heat from the garage environment has probably turned them to goo.

Then why keep it taking up space?
I’m with you there. Just toss it ! I spoze if it’s a real emotional attachment one could give it a proper burial ... although I think I’d go with cremation myself !

It might make a nice toy. Worth about $15.00 US.
But they want more than $300 for it.
This is what B&H is selling their current version

Is the Pro $300, and the others are $50? Maybe you buy the base model ($300) and then add a back for your specific camera. I admit that I didn't read all the details. I'm not about to start buying film again.
