Quite possibly. I have two serious questions about how well this solution might work on a modern digital camera. One, of course, is the issue of how much more involved we are with manipulating the ISO as we shoot with a digital camera as opposed to the "once a roll, if that" pace of ISO changes on film.
The other involves in-viewfinder data. I never moved on from my original all-manual film SLR. I never had one with automated exposure, much less autofocus. Never needed it, never wanted it. I did have one camera with a little mirror gadget that reflected an image of the actual aperture marking on the lens into a window below the VF, but that was a luxury. Otherwise, I always had to take the camera away from my eye to see what I was doing. This suited me fine; I've always been a deliberate, slow paced shooter. Or maybe my cameras made me that way?
Anyway, now that I'm used to seeing my data in my VF, or at least all in one place on a screen, I'm wondering if the Spotmatic style control will seem too slow. Depends on the ergonomics of the actual piece, I suppose. And then I think about the control wheel, button and menu set up on my DSLR and how fast and efficient it is, and how much I don't like it, and I wonder why I am borrowing trouble.
