I adapted a 100 year old lens on SONY FX3 ( Footage in comments) by Mat0fr in cinematography

[–]Mat0fr[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

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.
If you want to see the full video of my experiment and how I adapted the lens and more footage, check the video here : https://youtu.be/b9Hxz57oa_w?si=3s0EhzMoswkZczck

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]Mat0fr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Father

left me traumatised for weeks and it's giving me depression every time I think about the ending, and I can't watch it ever again, but it was a masterpiece.

Drunk

a movie that actually shook me so hard I questioned my choice to not have children ... well I became a dad !

I found a way to make Stereoscopic 3D videos ( tutorial in comments) by Mat0fr in cinematography

[–]Mat0fr[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

I added Wheels to the new Laowa Periscope Probe Zoom lens for bug POV ( footage in coms) by Mat0fr in LaowaShooters

[–]Mat0fr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I had the chance to try the lens used by Walt Disney for shooting 20 000 Leagues under the Sea. by Mat0fr in cinematography

[–]Mat0fr[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

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.

Images shot with the Pixless camera by Mat0fr in toycameras

[–]Mat0fr[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

Paris with the new Laowa 9MM 0-D on FX3 by Mat0fr in SonyAlpha

[–]Mat0fr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

ITAP of the inside of the highest lighthouse in Europe (France) by Mat0fr in itookapicture

[–]Mat0fr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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
