I’d buy it in a heartbeat. It can’t exist as you have it rendered though, there’s no mechanical linkage on the Z mount for rangefinder cam coupling.

did you make this in Photoshop?

rangefinder-by-wire? No reason it can't be done. I don't see the rangefinder window though, looks like just a viewfinder

I'm honestly convinced that the autists asking for a new rangefinder camera have never shot a rangefinder camera and just want to LARP as Leicatards without shooting Poojifilm.

Whos actually asking for a rangefinder? Theres a difference between a rangefinder style camera without the EVF hump and an actual rangefinder.

>>4397752
not a terrible idea, but couldn't let Nikon do it, otherwise it would end up looking and feeling like a plastic toy, just like the ZF and to an even greater extent, the ZFc.

How is it that over a decade later only SNOY can figure this out?
Even foolji has given up, x-e hasn't been updated in 3 years

100% true

>>4397752

with modern af who cares about rangefinder maybe auto adjust uncorrected parallax optical finder for 28/35/40/50mm

Yeah the ovf would be the most useless function in this camera, like most of the pro and x100 owners never use it.

iirc leica has this rangefinder that has back screen that can be folded to hide

Make the OVF a prism with a digital display projected into it from below

>>4398598
No Leica has a rangefinder with no screen at all. You have to use the phone app to preview images. Or wait until you ingest to a computer.

>>4397948
OVF’s should be modular. If you wear glasses, are old (the target consumer for $5k camera bodies) or your eyes aren’t that good & struggle to see tiny detail, or shoot off your histogram, you’re not using the little VF anyway, you’re using the screen, +the VF’s are never 100% of image size anyway, and take up a lot of extra space on top and off the back of the camera body and add a bunch of extra cost. Modular VF that just plugs into the hot shoe with a waterproof seal, & has its own hot shoe on top for accessories, for the geeks who want all that.

Evf not ovf

>>4399118
or use EVF
