Yamaguchi took it to mean that you should live your life without compromise while avoiding making trouble. He feels that the punk movement was misunderstood and that it was actually about human dignity and being true to yourself.

Hell yeah!

Yeah… every couple of years someone comes up with something like this… and then it’s just not quite really what it’s supposed to be. Like this one.

I’d love to have something that I could just drop into any of my old cameras without any fiddly bits that stick out or having to alter the camera in any way or whatever. Just put it in like a roll of film (and don’t touch the sensor), and the power supply and the storage is all in the canister. I could live with taking 36 pictures and then putting in a new film then, and I could live with limited runtime and storage space now. If they’re not too expensive one could have two of them and a thingy to charge one and store the pictures while the other is in the camera.
I’ve got a couple of old compact cameras like a little Yashica with a Zeiss lens which was ideal to just have with me all the time for snapshots; using them again without film would be nice.

If you want to do this ā€œrightā€, you can get a digital back for your Hasselblad… for like $30,000. It’s 100 megapixels, though. (Lower resolutions are available for a lot cheaper, but still not remotely cheap.)

If you’re collecting enough Hasseblad gear for this to be relevant you might just have 30k lying around.

That’s a good rig for digitising artwork, historic documents and so on.

Hasselblads are magic, and I’m sure their cost is well-justified if they meet one’s use case.

After all, technically a Hasselblad was Sweden’s first satellite.

Hasselblad has an article about ā€œHasselblad in Spaceā€ but they don’t mention the lost camera. :frowning:

(Also, my spouse has got an SWC and it’s a beautiful piece of work. This potato phone photo of one of her shots doesn’t really do it justice.)

Phase One and Leaf also do this, though I’m not sure if it’s simple as replacing the film back with a 6x7 sensor
