Why not just buy a Mint Instakron RF70? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDu0BSd-Gq0https://mint-camera.com/en/shop/cameras/instantkon-rf70/For me, that lens doesn't really inspire me for the price. I hope they make a further version with a better, faster lens, a hot shoe, and a combined veiw/rangefinder.
