Uralte Kodak 127 + neue Pentax K10D = Frankensteintax

Flickr-User AM Radio hat auf seine neue Pentax K10D die Linse einer 1917 gebauten Kodak 127 gebastelt und macht damit tatsächlich Fotos. Und die sehen mal gar nicht übel aus. Photo Punk.

“The position of the antique lens on the track pictured here is excellent for Macro since the sensor is a subset of the original projection. Fully unfolded, the lens is about 140-160mm literal (originally 120). For landscapes, the lens needs to be moved back on its track to about 35-50mm, which brings it back closer to it’s prime, where a larger subset of the projection is cast onto the sensor. Once the lens is placed about where the subject matter wants it, the old focus spinner still functions. I need to take a field notebook out and also mark findings along the bellows track with tick marks. The old view finder still works. You can hold the camera against your chest to look down into it and snap the photo. It’s really very fun. Neither camera was harmed and lightning bolts were not used.”
