Digital camera back Kickstarter project raised over $400,000 (compatible with Leica R cameras)





The new and improved I’m Back project that adds a digital back to film cameras has raised over $400,000 on Kickstarter (out of the $10,306 goal) and is ending in 4 days. The digital back is compatible with several Leica R cameras and many other brands – the full details can be found here:

The first low-cost digital back for your 35mm camera. For those who always wanted to have a “hybrid” camera working with photographic films or in digital mode.

Use your old analog camera, which probably is lost somewhere inside a box or ended-up in your small “personal museum” taking a lot of dust! We’re now in the digital era and are ready to give a second life to it with the only low-cost digital back available on the market!

The main innovation nevertheless, is the software, that gives now the possibility to take photos with the MANUAL mode, leaving the user full control of the shutter speed and the diaphragm aperture of the camera. I’m Back®35 will then record the images as it was set through the analog camera!
