“I’m Back” digital back for film cameras raised $400k on Kickstarter

admin · May 26, 2020

The new improved I’m Back® project that adds a digital back to old film cameras raised almost $400,000 on Kickstarter and is ending in 4 days (compatible with Pentax ME/ME super/K1000/Spotomatic and many other brands) – here are the details:

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!
