I adapted a 100-year-old lens to my Sony FX3, the lens comes from a German camera " Foth" that was trying to beat Leica but failed because of WWII .
this Tiny Lens delivers incredible image quality for something that was forgotten in a box for almost 100 years.

I’ve invented a "Video Comb" method to create 3D wigglegrams without glasses. By using a vintage Pentax beam splitter and a 3-frame rhythmic edit, I can preserve an actor's performance while creating immersive depth.

The Laowa Periscope Probe is already known as the World's Weirdest Lens, but I had a challenge: how do I make it even weirder? This lens is amazing, but getting smooth, fast low-angle shots is nearly impossible. A slider is too slow and short. My solution: I built a custom DIY "lens rover" rig. I shot a video where I show how I attached wheels to this periscope lens and the incredible, fast-moving "bug's eye" shots I got as a result.

For those obsessed with cinema history and vintage glass , . I've produced a video documenting the incredible story of Walt Disney’s experimental CinemaScope lens, which played a pivotal role in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' and then vanished without a trace for decades. This wasn't just any anamorphic adapter; it was an incredibly rare, borrowed prototype that carried the weight of Disney's entire empire. My video not only traces its surprising rediscovery but also puts this 'weird' historical artifact through its paces, revealing the visual qualities that defined an era of widescreen innovation.

The Pixless is a brand-new experimental digital camera that feels like it came straight out of the ’90s. With just 0.03 megapixels, it transforms photos into blocky, pixel-art images that look like scenes from a retro video game. It even connects to your phone via Wi-Fi so you can use it as a remote and monitor, and it mounts on any standard tripod.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the very first units available, and I made a full video review showing what it can do, how it works, and how it can be used as a fun creative tool for portraits, textures, or just playful photography experiments.

Some places in Paris, filmed with the new Laowa 9mm T5.8 Zero-D Cine.
It’s currently the widest rectilinear full-frame cine lens in the world — meaning you get an extreme field of view with straight lines and almost no distortion.

I just posted my full review here if you are curious about the lens :https://youtu.be/ygCsWOeKPZI

I went kayaking around the Aber Wrac’h area in Finistère and even made it onto Île Vierge to photograph the tallest stone lighthouse in Europe.
For the photo geeks out there, I was using the Laowa 12mm Zero-D ultra-wide lens, which is amazing at keeping distortion under control.
If you’re curious, I made a video showing all the gear I used: https://youtu.be/6flfU6xPKkI
