CINE CAMERA LENS DELIGHT

[FUJI]

Today I acquired a tine Cine Camera lens by Kern   made for a Bolex Cine Camera,

 

I've created a DIY adapter so it fits on my camera.

 

These first results look very promising.

Impressive, I admire your ingenuity.

I assume the dust in #1 is on the watch glass (as a film shooter my first reaction is dust on the negative but in digital that doesn't work).

WHOOPS! James....well spotted...

That watch is an extreme cheapy purchased whilst my good watch was being serviced....it has lain on an out of the way shelf until taken down fir this pic this afternoon...

I was too involved it what the lens was capable of....at least it records dust specs ...can’t be bad then! 

I haven’t lost my mojo for Street Photography, but my painting and lens experiments seem to be taking up more time recently.....this horrible heat, has kept me pretty well housebound....can’t wait for cooler times...

I love this Heath Robinson attitude you've got, finding a way to make things to work that seem incompatible Fooj ... C'mon then ...lets see a pic of the lens on the camera ... I loved the gluegun effort on the last one....

Here you go Polly, as you can see the tiny lens has been glued inside a bottle cap, which, in turn is glued inside an M42 to micro four thirds adapter.

As stated in my most recent post, a small residue of glue is preventing the focus ring from turning, so a surgical procedure needs to be carried out with a craft knife to clear it...

My old eyes aren’t what they were, so missed it until too late....fortunately hot glue is quite forgiving.

Ingenious !!! Looking forward to seeing more results from the lens ...... Thanks for showing us that  ... ... I love  the approach  you have to adapting old to new ... brilliant Fooj ... The flower looks  nicely isolated  from that background ..too....

Ingenious, I would never have thought to do that. I'm not very good a making things....

Very interesting to see what you are doing, and the results Fuji - way too clever for me!
