Default Bit of a con, really ... ?

Are there any?


I hope not.

Nearly 40 years ago, I imagined a film-based SLR with an electronic
viewfinder that showed how the final image would look, depending on the film
you used, and (with B&W materials) the way you developed and printed.


That would be technically possible these days, but shooting in RAW mode,
there wouldn't be much use for it.
