Replying to my own post, sick..
But if I take an OM, chop out everything in the middle, (take out the mirror
portion), move the film plane up, can I make something like this?? I'm
curious.. because just had an F2 lens, no F-stops. So something like an
Zuiko 50/f1.8 (albit the focal plane is moved up, so maybe a 24mm lens = a
50mm when the focal plane is moved so close, don't know..)
but something that small, Bulb-1/1000th, and a 50mm/f1.8-f32 with a
detachable viewfinder.
How does that sound to people??
