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.

There would be, if you were shooting film. (See above.)

Sure, but why? It's so easy to do something very similar in PhotoShop.

But some people prefer silver-based photography. It took me quite a while to
"come over" to digital -- at least for anything "serious". And I still like
Polaroid photography, particularly the peel-apart materials.
