[@v3blaxican]

I ordered mine from Amazon for under $30. Works great!

[@davidmorefield]

@@v3blaxican oh that awesome!

[@christopherinnesfilms]

I respect your commitment to the process!

[@davidmorefield]

@@christopherinnesfilms love a good tinker

[@jonwaldman94]

Hell yeah dude 🔥. Looks just like the pocket Dispo

[@davidmorefield]

@@jonwaldman94 it was a fun experiment 😂

[@shueibdahir]

This lens would look absolutely AMAZING in combination with some film emulation especially in video

[@davidmorefield]

@@shueibdahir maybe I can run some tests.

[@eletor]

stoked and not surprised to see that you're a skateboarder

[@davidmorefield]

@@eletor haha how so?

[@eletor]

@@davidmorefield skateboarders grow up watching videos and inadvertently become interested in the production side of it.

[@davidmorefield]

@@eletor very true.

[@MindfulGrinds]

Free offers for gear and lenses and instead happier with DIY lens cap. That is like all the toys people buy for their cats but they would be happier with a box. Looks great! I love the old film look!

[@davidmorefield]

@@MindfulGrinds That is a perfect analogy 😂

[@GeorgeGuillory]

Good stuff! I might have to try this!

[@davidmorefield]

@@GeorgeGuillory it was a really fun experiment

[@TheRealHarrypm]

The look of a disposable film camara, shooting on Sigma Art Glass (24-105) on my 2000 Minolta a7 (Sony A7 is based off that body) really has spooled me on cheep film stocks like Gold and and better grain ones like Ektar/Pro Image.

[@davidmorefield]

Love the experimentation

[@shotmakermedia]

Wow, what timing. I'm literally trying this today with my 2nd grader for a school project. Looks great!

[@davidmorefield]

@@shotmakermedia make sure you get that specific Kodak camera. Much easier.

[@Died1209]

Thanks for showing us the whole process, so fun! And the footage looks so cool on the fx6, like an old 2000s mtv video

[@davidmorefield]

@@Died1209 yeah Im digging the look. It’s so nice to just flip the a7s3 on and begin shooting in shutter priority mode with auto iso. It really feels like a disposable. But I can instantly send the pics to my phone.

[@Eric.Estrada]

Dispo Lens is like $59 and ready to go.

[@davidmorefield]

@@Eric.Estrada where’s the fun in that

[@carlos.sierra]

Man, we've all been there: 3 hours past a reasonable bedtime ghetto-rigging a little piece of gear lmao 😅

[@davidmorefield]

@@carlos.sierra Worth it 😂

[@chrisharris_arizona]

Think I saw another Billy Kyle cameo. Incognito with the goggles on haha

[@davidmorefield]

@@chrisharris_arizona Good catch.

[@Za_Vas]

my birthday is coming up... might have to get a dispo camera for the day and then do this lmao

[@davidmorefield]

@@Za_Vas it’s honestly pretty fun

[@braxtonjens7839]

Dope. I dig Check out Pentax auto 110 lenses on s35 sensors. Cool little lenses. Vintage lowfi, sharp enough for most uses, funky/ swirly/ soft at the corners.

[@davidmorefield]

@@braxtonjens7839 that sounds fun. It’s awesome that these plastic lenses still cover full frame!

[@braxtonjens7839]

⁠@@davidmorefield True, such a tiny lens covers full frame. Pretty cool!

[@aLgProduction]

COOL!

[@luker1ng]

Love how small the camera becomes.

[@davidmorefield]

@@luker1ng it literally is the perfect travel camera. A7s3 is actually a great choice bc the photos are only 12mp. I don’t want anything larger, especially if it’s thigh resolution of a lofi image.

[@2darki]

Time to invest in a small 3D printer? Something like a Bambu Lab A1 mini or P1?

[@davidmorefield]

@@2darki nah I don’t want to learn about that. This is a one off idea. But there is a company that 3D prints them called dispo lens.

[@TheRealHarrypm]

@@davidmorefield Lot of pofit in a basic 3D printer setup for making adapters and brackets for kit I would not dissmiss it so lightly, its less complicated then the old Sony menus heha (its 3D moddling thats hard, not printing files)

[@davidmorefield]

@@TheRealHarrypm I hear ya but my heart isn’t in it.

[@TheRealHarrypm]

@@davidmorefield Thats really surprising tbh, it's pretty much invaluable for modern production houses when you need a part within 8-12 hours, good old Winters sees the value. (Well his son does all the leg work on it lol) Ironically I got into it to build 35mm cine film and photo film scanners, and it payed for itself after 3 prints, it's another modern tool in the toolbag even my grips are 3D printed. If you haven't spent a day on thingaverse seeing the cool bits and bobs avalible it's worth a ponder.

[@DavidAcampora]

love a good DIY but these are $18 on amazon 😭

[@davidmorefield]

@@DavidAcampora I’d rather waste two days and two disposables. Got a lot of time on my hands.

[@orcapodmedia]

Haha I love this video.

[@davidmorefield]

@@orcapodmedia it was fun to make!

[@natelehota]

Glad you got some time in my state. If you're ever in the Cleveland/Akron/Canton-Area would love to help or just meet up!

[@davidmorefield]

@@natelehota thank you for letting me know man!

[@KadeemBooth]

New basic kit for the clients that cheap out

[@davidmorefield]

@@KadeemBooth it’s honestly so smooth to use. Fixed focus, fixed aperture and the cam becomes extremely light.

[@fatjetbajrami2708]

That has a great vibe, but you could buy a premade one for cheaper, and another nice option... if you have checked the lightleak lens from polar pro

[@remery4]

but whats the fun in this? :D

[@davidmorefield]

@@fatjetbajrami2708 exactly what he said, that’s not fun haha. I like to experiment.

[@stuartswindellcampoy8483]

Ive been wanting to do it for a while tbh just never really tried , I should

[@davidmorefield]

@@stuartswindellcampoy8483 it was a fun experiment. Made me learn a little about optics as well.

[@stuartswindellcampoy8483]

@@davidmorefield yeah true I thought you would have had to push the lense closer to the sensor but then you had to pull it further back for it to focus!

[@tomcav]

Yoo! Didn’t know you were nice on a skateboard like that haha
