Cool idea but super gimmicky.

Don't really mind the idea, but the execution is not ideal. The price is way too high and it looks way too janky. For that price you could get a scanning setup and buy/develop a metric fuckton of Kodak Gold or whatever.

Also, if I wanted to shoot digital I'd shoot digital. My Olympus EM-5 Mark II looks quite a lot like that OM 10 in the thumbnail and with an adapter I have all kinds of Minolta MD lenses on it. These lenses actually give quite some character to the images. That whole setup together costs less than 800 euro's, is a lot less finicky, still looks like a film camera from the front, still has all the manual dials and buttons. You can even fold the screen on the back closed so you can pretend to shoot film. I've had people ask me whether that was an analog camera before.
