Nikon Patent Turns 35mm Film SLR Into DSLR

Nikon Patent Shows a Digital Back That Turns 35mm Film SLRs Into DSLRs


According to a recently spotted patent: Nikon could be looking to create a 35mm SLR replacement back that would turn a film camera into a digital camera.


Japanese blog Egami spotted the patent (No. 2012-242615), filed by Nikon in May 2011 but published just last week. It shows a back cover that replaces the factory one found on old SLR cameras. Such a device may one day allow old and beloved 35mm SLRs to be transformed into digital cameras using an easily reversible process.
