New Half-Frame 35mm Film Camera from Alfie Cameras - Call for Beta Testers
Film photographers will soon be able to take part in a Kickstarter for a special new high-quality half-frame 35mm film camera that will allow them to extend the life of their now costly 35mm film rolls. That camera is the Alfie Tych.www.35mmc.com
So can one volunteer to test a camera without investing money?
Shades of the 'Reflex' kickstarter?
I like the lens turret though it seems like the ideal platform for a MFT mount. You could use adapters to mount any lens you like.
The Micro four-thirds frame is 17.3 mm x 13 mm - significantly smaller than half frame (24mm x 18mm).
I'll be happy to offer my beta testing services....for a small fee of course. It's important to keep things professional. Please have their people call my people.
If a win rate of 3 from 36 is a good average from a great photographer just imagine how many you'd get from a roll of 72! Except after the third picture you recognised as maybe half decent in content the impetus would be to rattle through the rest of the film just so you can damned well process it. Or if you regularly have a film in a camera for a year just think, you can now have it in the camera for two years! Half frame should never make a comeback, but it's great on an academic pipe smoking level to have a half frame camera, but just don't use it, it encourages photographic diarrhea.
If you can tolerate the grain, which is less of a problem with the tabular grain films now.
Guess you haven't used half frame cameras. The Olympus Pen F series have superb lenses and there is no issue with grain using basic cheap films like C200

What is the attraction of half-frame.?
I did not realize they were in demand.
I guess i would think that if somebody were going to make a new camera that a 35mm would be a lot more popular.?
