I had seen something about people doing that with TLR focusing screens. There is also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0Lsnutki0E Here we go, Through the Viewfinder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through_the_Viewfinder_photography https://blog.jpegmini.com/photography-tutorial-shooting-through-the-viewfinder/ I think this quote sums it up even more than the author intended: Shooting through the Viewfinder (or TfV) is a really rad technique in which a photo is shot with one camera THROUGH the viewfinder of a second camera. t’s like adding a special kind of lens filter. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
