Oxford 18-year-old student 3D printing changes film camera to digital camera

Oliver Baker, an 18-year-old Oxford student, officially started his research after receiving the arkwright scholarship fund scholarship. The analog camera he chose was Konica 'Auto S3 rangefinder'. Baker chose this camera because its fixed 38mm F1.8 lens has an inconspicuous built-in blade shutter, and the unique ranging principle makes it smaller. size of. Its only drawback is that it does not have a built-in sight and is not suitable for people with glasses. However, Baker removed a lens from an old pair of glasses and installed it into the camera's viewfinder as a diopter adjuster, using Sony NEX5 parts (including boards, sensors, LCD screens, SD card slots, batteries) With the help of the connection and shutter, and the help of the 3D printer , it was successfully inserted into the Konica Auto S3 to digitize an old rangefinder camera.
