 'All' it needs is a 24x36 sensor which is thin enough to fit between the film/image mask and the spring back plate in almost any film camera to achieve this but in who's interest?  It would need considerable investment, be an expensive device and would produce, at best a primitive digital camera, no better than the original camera, except it would provide digital files instead of slides or negatives.

For the retro enthusiast there is still the 'df', sworn by - by some, ignored by others.

Digital cameras have moved photography forward so much, I don't see any point in trying to resuscitate old technology, especially with such a crude approach.  You can still buy film, the guy who used to process my films still processes but offers to digitise the images for the same cost as printing a set of proof prints. Used to be a tenner.
