[@BD06]

Using mental health issues as a insult, is contradictory to mental health wellbeing, so recommending a psychiatrist or therapist is senseless all together. The day everyone will realise that the world might be one step closer to peace.

[@FLUFFSQUEAKER]

@@BD06 It's the title of the song used there, nothing more xD

[@jakenichelson9568]

I tried this with a Sony a7III and the same Kodak camera and the lens was too close to the sensor for a proper focus.

[@gheorghiualex]

he mentions in a following video about an adapter which allows for focus. It is 3d printed. I got it and it works really well and is very good quality

[@antoniolomasto1691]

Where??

[@dopexmc7901]

@@antoniolomasto1691 did you found out where to get it now? found the video right now and would try some experiments as well

[@nicholin02]

the other one is 3d printed?

[@imanolbourdoncle3466]

I guess it's the camera cover

[@bocarlsson3rd]

This is so cool. There is a guy (I think in Ukraine) that takes apart old sovjet compact cameras and 3d prints custom mounts for them. The photos had a really fun character. If I remember correctly they weren't that expensive either. But this was a couple of years ago.

[@cordelldejager]

I tried this for my Canon EOS R but the camera doesn’t let me make pictures or video’s the shutter doesn’t work. Anyone any tips?

[@joslin7196]

there may be a setting that you have to turn off that doesn’t let the shutter operate while an unrecognisable or no lens is mounted, that was the case on my Lumix, not sure about canon though.

[@bacillus9]

Did you have to measure the distance from the lens to the sensor/film plate?

[@MathieuStern]

Sounds like a remixed Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches

Hi just something I've been wanted to ask has anyone tried to use those replacement lens from go pro to make a lens cap dispo like this?

[@Fuegoshotz]

Doesn’t work for me…. Just acts like a super macro lens

[@roodick85]

5 below cameras are 5 bucks and come with a 10 frame roll

[@exapod23]

Nice! Do you have any info on the lens? One element aspherical?

[@theKongston]

Hey so, I did this mod on a Pronto! SX70, the non-RF version.
Should there be an audible difference in the shutter between pre-modding and after?
(sry if the answer is obvious)

[@wordreet]

Looks like fun!

[@Sylvanexo]

Cool idea

[@TC-rv6sz]

Amazing idea ❤

[@orenmarzuk]

I have this kind of lens and the lighting doesn't let me read the raw files that are being taken with this lens you know why?

[@zubaerhossen1087]

please try it with your phone.

[@idipped2521]

It’s amazing, tried it on my iPhone

[@49Amit-j8t]

Can u put smartphone interchangeable lenses on this ...use the lens clip on the cap and show us the results

[@Scyth3934]

wtf is up with the song

[@PSYAVE.]

How do you find the correct distance to the sensor?

[@davutsakalli]

Webcam, Security camera and video camera...etc. lenses are same?

[@user-co6ww2cm9k]

yes and no
