Basically a camera taking a picture of a screen on which the image from the lens of the host body is focused. This means that the focused image is quite dim and thus the sensitivity of the camera in the back needs to be appropriately high. The images on the linked page seem to show vignetting which would need to be corrected, preferably by the back.

I'm not tempted by this one any more than I was by the 35mm version. My only remaining film cameras are a pair of F5s, for which there is no back available. When I used one a couple of years back to check the calibration of a Pentax ME Super I discovered that AF has come a long way since 1996.

Nice idea but for me it appears to fall some way short of matching the performance of these cameras with film and a good scanner.
