Nikon 1 mirrorless system sucks and the NEX cameras look is to boring for you? Than just squeeze your NEX camera into an old styled and good looking [shoplink 16947 ebay]Nikon F camera[/shoplink] chassis! You can see the full “How-To” pics on Brendan Taylor’s google plus page. Great work Brendan!

It’s not a Nikon F, but a Nikkormat.
Aw man, I thought you meant Nikon was releasing an E-Mount camera
This makes no sense at all.
But hey, you’ve gotta have a hobby. If your thing is taking a slick modern camera and making it look old and bulky…go for it.
I agree with you,
it is unwatchable
This is excellent work. Very impressive Brendan. Real vision here. I hope you enjoy the rewards of your efforts for a long time to come. Congrats on a fantastic project. Can’t believe you went so far to exchange the prism housing for the EVF. That’s really spectacular.
I love that he got the EVF into where the pentaprism would have been. Makes me wish I could hack my perfect camera into existence too. A d800 sensor into an a900 body!!!
Dumbest thing ever.
Hasselblad Lunar not looking so bad now, huh guys?
hahahhahha.. good one
i hope he does not just create this..mhh..thing to take cat pictures.
Sadly, the playback and record button are blocked.
This is awesome!
Why go to all that trouble and still not have it look like a finished product. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just build add-ons for a Nex from scratch… This doesn’t even look like it would work.
Perhaps the E-mount will eventually become E for everybody. Meaning it’ll become digital film and take anybody’s lenses. Oh wait it already does. But what kind of world would we wake up to if suddenly all the big names start making e-mount lenses and e-mount camera’s of their own?
“SLAP” in the face but … pure genius ^^
It’s a NIXon! 😉
it’s like f-mount adapter as full size nikon film camera. why? looks?
Should have called it
Nikony
Make.Yourself
He must be one of those sort of people who paints a red ring round his canon kit lens to make it look like an L lens.
What a tremendous waste of time. Some folks sure have too much time on their hands. It’s not even a good looking retrofit. Surprised SonyAlpha Rumors even gave it space.
Wow, could be cool if done well but unfortunately it looks like assembled by a blind man.
I would love to see a Retro FF from Sony
While they say you can’t polish a turd… He sort of proves it. Looks better. But still a turd.
