Taking digital photos with a camera that is over 100 years old? Yes, it’s possible! We've developed a unique and internationally protected adapter that functions just like an old 9x12 photo plate. This adapter allows you to connect your digital camera with a lens mount (required) to a folding plate or bellows camera. Until now, these beautiful old cameras were often just display pieces in cabinets. Imagine how wonderful it would be to take this camera out, go to a beautiful location, and take pictures again. That’s exactly what we thought too.

Inspired by Hasselblad, who created a Digital Back to bring old analog cameras into the 21st century, we wanted something similar for our vintage cameras. After six months of intense development, we've perfected the adapter. We currently offer this adapter for Micro Four Thirds, Samsung NX, Sony E-Mount (NEX), and Canon EF mounts. More mounts will follow, but we insist on testing each adapter thoroughly by purchasing a camera from the corresponding series and developing the adapter directly on that camera.

This product represents true circular economy and is entirely made in Germany. The photo plate is milled, laser-cut, stained, and finished with real leather here on site. The adapter itself comes from our 3D printer.

Wir feiern ein #Jubiläum, die Fotoplattensammlung der #Sternwarte #Sonneberg ist #100 Jahre geworden. In der #Nacht vom 14.09.1923 auf den 15.09.1923 von 21:58 Uhr bis 0:58 Uhr belichtete Cuno Hoffmeister seine erste #Fotoplatte. Damit begründete er die zweitgrößte astronomische Fotoplattensammlung der Welt.
