lomo lca lens rehousing

i always liked the camera body of the lomo lca and i didn't enjoy how expensive the lomography minitar lens was. i wanted to replicate the experience of shooting with the lca with sliding lens cover, and lever actuated aperture and focus.

field testing the lomo lca lens rehousing on sony e and fuji x

field testing videos for me are always about results. as such my videos typically have no music and only include natural sounds as to not effect the perception of the viewer. an unbiased showcase of what people can photograph with the rehousing.

the basics always start with a very rough idea to correctly identify the flange focal distance (ffd). from there it’s just chasing a thread or feeling until the final design.
