A New Approach to Mirrorless for Pentax?

For me.... i would prefer to keep a mirror. This is because i am seeing everything in true colour and as i see it. Not tainted by electronics. Another reason is that it won't be a camera for me... it will be gawking at yet another screen!!
As i was told by a photographer i was talking to using a canon mirrorless... there is a slight delay with it when tracking moving objects.... this would put me off it straight away!

Absolutely there is a delay, as i found out one day when panning a group of horses on a gallop, i just got blurred green fields. It took me a while for the penny to drop that the live screen is a delayed screen and that was with my Panasonic LX7 and finished me forever with electronic view finders or screens, which are probably faster these days but still, a mirror viewfinder is real time and anticipate the moment without having to guess.

Nice link Lubbyman and appreciated as it is nice to discover new material👍
I blame Spad for leading me astray😇

I don't know anything about Mirrorless cameras, but I watched a Youtoob fella with one who was cursing his for always getting sensor dust spots, said they are like "magnets for dust these Mirrorless cameras".

Flan.... i have just farted in your general direction....
I also missed the link too!!
That is so cool, but we could do something similar! Use mirror up shooting and remove the lens cap!!!

If I had the time, money and a driver (I don't think that lot would bungee to the back of my motorcycle...) I'd love to try "alternative processes". I'm still waiting for the darkroom at work to be cleared for use... they have had the air filtering system sitting in boxes in there for a very long time.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I've no plans to try wet plates on my 5x4 cameras, but a few other alternative processes may creep in.
His images all seem to have considerable artifacts from the processing - much more than I've seen in other wet plate stuff.
The big lens I finally got mounted on a lens board over christmas might actually work reasonably well for cyanotypes, it's fast (5" wide & 150mm focal length makes ~f/1.2) yet still transmits UV better than most - managing 50% of it's peak transmission at 375nm.. In camera cyanotypes might just be practical

I hope so, rather than just challenging!
The only images I've recorded through this so far have been on my Pentax digitals. Through the viewfinder shots solves shutter issues, but I've not managed one yet with the image looking focused.
