My cousin Leon did 3 years in Chino for lens moding. Would’ve only been 9 months, but the FBI found a stash of like 20 more modified lenses when they searched his house, so…Popped with intent to distribute too.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 yes. The squeeze is the primary purpose of the anamorphic lens, the flares are just a side effect. Accidentally achieved the same on a recent photoshoot, left a fingerprint on a lens, and didn't have a cleaning wipe. Cleaned it as much I could, but there was still a very thin film of oil on the lens. By wiping down very carefully, it created perfect horizontal streaks emanating from light sources!
The red oval is supposed to mimic the "squeezed" look of the bokeh from an anamorphic lens and the fishing line to get that flare. I honestly don't know why it was coloured red, other videos show removing the black from the edges of the internal lens elements and repainting them red instead, then re-assembling. My best guess is to get red-coloured circular lens flares, along with the blue horizontal flares. ...but I kind-of expect that a screw-in filter on the front of this particular lens* (Jupiter 9) with a black cardboard oval with blue fishing line would produce the same (or better?) result, plus if you don't like it, simply unscrew it. *Because the front element is right up close to the filter ring, not at the bottom of a conical hole, like a lot of other lenses.
Very fun video. At the risk of getting arrested by the authorities, I'd like to try the disposable camera lens concept. Where can one get access to a 3D print file for a Nikon lens mount?
The globular and rubber tube look very similar, approaching angular magnification from different methods. I'd like to see a tilt/shift on each element. I would love to see the bokeh masks out in nature, evening or night in the city, yeah? Maybe a double slit mask if you like new wave. Have you tried enlarger lenses? Good German glass-50mm to 75 would work (Schneider or Omega) with a short extension tube, no other lens needed, fuzzy almost dreamy edges and a crisp center
What shall I tell you guys? Lens police had a sharp eye on my for quite some aperture of time and even published a mug shot. When they at last triggered to freezing my doing, it struck me like a flash and they shut me away in a dark room. Judge said, the claims were a bit unsharp at the first curtain, but once they filtered the fog, they had a clear image of my guilt. They charged me for forgery of digital effects, focal length fraud, forcing bokeh and doing a lot of other things in the shadows! The process developed for quite some days until they stopped it and projected the full display. I threw in objective arguments, focussing on the fact, no ones image had been damaged, but things stayed gray for me. As this wasn't my first proof of crime, the jury considered me a serial modder, so no chance to soften the verdict. Guess i will swap lenses^h^h^h^hlentils for beans for at least 4000000s and see the world through F0.6 at 100 lumen. Gloomy prospects.
Thank you very much for this video! Great mod suggestions! I've tried the first one (globular) and it's very fun, and I hope I will try the other ones too! Cheers :)
J'aime tellement ces détournements, beaucoup trop inspirants ! Merci beaucoup Mathieu pour toutes ces vidéos, tu m'as redonné envie de sortir mon 5D pour le pousser à ses limites !

Take one of them radioactive lenses, start a chain reaction and power your camera as well as a nearby part of a city. Now that would be quite an illegal mod:-). However, these mods are the next best thing:-). Awesome.
Man t'es trop fort ! Merci pour la question ! J'ai un petit projet en tête et j'aimerai bien avoir ton avis plz J'ai des objectif mamiya 645 et j'aimerai les modifier en EF mount en DIY ! Est-ce que c'est possible ? Merci
The correct name of the lens is not Mir 1 “B”, but the Mir 1 “V” lens. (The lens is signed in Russian) this is the Russian letter V ->В, not the English letter B ->Б. they are similar, but differ in meaning and sound. (I don’t know why, but Google Translate doesn’t translate correctly either)
"Sei illegale" in uno slang della Generazione Z, vuol dire quando è una cosa, una persona, ... , talmente BELLA che, non può stare in giro! Penso che sono uno dei pochi "nuovi" termini che approvo, ed in questo caso ci sta incredibilmente perfetto, al nome di tutto quello che ci fai vedere in questo tuo video ❤
Concaved, convexed double them up and mirror them so it's backwards like reality really is and hit it with the red color spectrum. Like the Vatican telescope
so will the manufacturer sue me for modifying a lens i bought? oh no wait i live in europe not america ,what i "buy" not rent is my property to with as i want unless its a real illegal dangerous mod (would be interesting in lenses) in a car or such that can hurt people. please stop using the word illegal for nonsense like illegal lego mods (whatever that means) or like here , its a non stndard modification or use of it thats perhaps crazy ,stupid or not recommended and thats it ,no lawyer will come after yyou .
Почему у этого иностранца с ужасным английским акцентом в видео представлены советские мануальные объективы? И что тут такого ужасного? Так называемый petzval mod это не ново. На своём мир-1в я делала тоже самое и результат потрясающий.
Last time I got arrested for modifying lens I got out on a small bail, as I offered to film the judge's daughter's wedding with them 😂
I got death by electrocution but I managed to get a retrial and only got 5 years
I got sent straight to hell with no bathroom breaks on the trip down for making these bad boys.
Screw the justice system. I skipped out on bail and am now an elemental fugitive.
@@spamspamgringo261sir madame or other variant. That is a phrase I am sure to be adopting. Deplorably funny, I commend you.
But only with your moded hardware?
Hello interpol, i'd like to report an optical crime
This channel was great while it lasted. Maybe RUclips will eventually be allowed from prison 🤷♂️ lol

0:32 Globular mod
1:46 Tilt mod
2:23 Bokeh shapes mod
2:55 Anamorfake mod
4:42 Focus mod
thanks !
I want that lens with the 3d printed focus mount!!
Illegal? Geesh
Instructions unclear now I’m in jail
Ha Ha😂
I tried out the second illegal lens mod and now I'm typing this from prison.
You know 3 times and you are in for lifetime
That Kodaflex mod is wild.
The anamorphic mod looks like fun, too, though you don't need much more than a line strung across your lens to fake that.
I think it merely mimics lens flare, instead of changing the aspect ratio? I guess that should be obvious, but I know nothing about anamorphic lenses.

Also just reversing Helios-44 back lens has a nice dreamy effect, and more sharp bokeh circles. The cons: it becomes kind of macro-mid distance lens
That trick of reversing the front element on the MIR 1B looks amazing!
The lens police are coming for you.
What made these mods illegal?
Very fun video. At the risk of getting arrested by the authorities, I'd like to try the disposable camera lens concept. Where can one get access to a 3D print file for a Nikon lens mount?
Probably nowhere, disposable cameras have back focal distance much smaller than Nikon F (don't ask me why I know it)
@@lusvit5093 You do know that Nikon also makes mirrorless cameras nowadays with their so called Z-mount ?
@@lusvit5093
I once had a dawn raid by the anti terrorism unit when I inserted a spacer behind the rear element of my Helios 44.
that first one was very cool
Illegal? Maybe. Absolute magic? Most definitely!
I never expected the hilarious comments making this already educational video that much more enjoyable. 😂😂😂
The tricks are just amzing ! And the powerful French accent is totally tentalizing.

Your videos are great. Best lenses video channel
Thanks always sharing things. Many creative ideas!
Glad you like them!
You had a lot of good ideas, and my favorite one is the tilt mod, because the results are spectacular 2:05. Great for portraits!
Thank you very much!
Great modifications. Thanks for sharing!
At 0:22 , how'd he get that phone anamorphic apart. I've been trying mine for a while with no luck
Did you design the Kodaflex focus mod or download the design form somewhere?
👀
Could you make a camera mount adapter to Moment M Adapter and Insert a Moment lens?
great video! where to get or how to built the tilt mod? thank you
I was just about to ask the same question!
bicycle inner tubes work great.
Nice video. Where can I see details from the video 0:23 sec project, please?
Is it possible to modify a lens by hand to increase the aperture thee diaphragm?
Do you sell these lenses? i would love to buy all of the modification if possble
U are the master chef of weird lenses
The frame at 1:37 is 👌
Amazing again Mathieu. Would like to see some Z mount adaptors :)
Noted!
the bokeh shapes mod is pretty awesome! did you do that one yourself Mathieu?
Yes I did everything in this video, only the jupiter 9 was made by Tito, but it's super easy anyway
Ah you printed a cap for the funsaver lens, nice!

Every photo from the globular mod just looks like someone’s paused a movie right in the middle of a crash zoom lol
that last one was definitely illegal but the image is a major vibe
Refreshing and very nice results! A big thank you for your posts outside the "new 2.8 super lens pool" nonsense.
My pleasure!
jupiter and helios are f 2 lenses, så f 2.8 pool talk is boring,,,faster apertures are god LOL😅

I ❤ your plugins especially Trackspacer, looking forward to get my hands on this one too. Keep up the exceptional work 🎉
nice ideas over there sir
Forbidden camera techniques( ಠಿ0ಠಿ)
I really want to try these mods but im a law abiding citizen and i don't want to risk going to the penitentiary over a hanus crime like this
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Holy shit ma man, my hernia just doubled in size. Thank you sir!
What song was playing? I like it. Also, I'm now buying some vintage lenses
I do not know if you are completely bloody mad or an absolute genius🤣, but what great ideas👍
I got to remember not to mod my lenses. The Cam police may be watching.
Useful hacks. :)
Sorry -- what is the artist and song title for the ending music? It's lovely! :)

Lens modifier criminals:
This video should be declared illegal for not respecting the word illegal!
Illegal? It's mine, I do what ever I want with it.
Watch out! Photopolice is on their way to you!
I've seen that last one sold on it's own as these silly looking "cookie lenses", you can get one like under $30

I love the results from all of these but #2 make me gag when I saw the droopy lens hahah
The shape one is genius 😊
Me: Takes lense apart "F the system!"
Ohhh these are OFFENSIVE 😍
I think the word you're looking for is "Extreme"
I was shot....by the Camera Of The Law!
Substitute the word creative for the word illegal.
What is illegal about modifying MY lens?
Illegal? I'm reporting this video 😂
A judge will contact you soon to remind you the law.
"YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A LENS"
god the youtube compression hurted this photos
How you got arrested for do that?
so, I must ask you, just to be sure. If I mod one of my lenses that way, will I be followed? FBI, Interpol, anything?
So, what is illegal about it all?
Good music in this video.
Awesome!

so cat's eyes are anamorphic?
nothings illegal if you want that shot!
Why is it illegal ?
thank you , wonderfull , respecfully RT
You are very welcome

please stop using the word illegal for nonsense like illegal lego mods (whatever that means) or like here , its a non stndard modification or use of it thats perhaps crazy ,stupid or not recommended and thats it ,no lawyer will come after yyou .
What is illegal about this? I don't understand.
that's insane
Anamorfake and kodaflex are 11/10.
My definition of illegal means against the law but ok
why illegal???
You've done some interesrung work here. In which jurisdiction is it illegal to do this? I would l like to have you arrested as a con-artist.
Thanks.
Oh, no! The law entforcement is knocking on the door. It's obviously illegal to watch this video too!
My friend bokeh out jail to try these mods.
Why risk ruining your good lens? Just buy a lens baby.
Why experiment and learn ? Just consume more
