Using 120 medium format film in an old 616 camera

  I designed this little adapter for my Kodak Kodamatic 6 x 10 camera. The camera looks really cool and folds up so it's easy to carry.     As such, I don't know if all the designs are identical throughout 616 cameras. But if you want to shoot panoramic-ish medium format photos on a budget, try it out! And let me know how it went. BUY THE 120 FILM ADAPTER FOR 616 CAMERA (Tested with Kodak Kodamatic No. 2)

Using regular 35mm film in a 126 camera

I designed this little adapter for my 126 Fex Indo camera (the infamous   Fex Indo Compact 126 XR ! Because it's a super cute camera, that's why.).   As such, I don't know if all the designs are identical throughout 126 cameras. You'll have to hack off the protruding part of your 35mm film canister with a saw, and then fit this adapter onto it. Oh, and you also have to have an empty 35mm canister and then spool the unexposed film onto this empty spool before loading (in the dark obviously). Also, you might have to wind back into the canister it in the dark. I therefore recommend it for hardcore photograph tweakers rather than for first timer photo gear hackers.   Above tests were done with GP unperforated 135 film, I haven't tried with perf film but wonder if it might tear the film up. But if you want to shoot square format 35mm film with fun results, or just look cute hanging out with a Fex Indo toy, try it out! And let me know how it went. BUY THE 35MM ADAPTER FO...

FabulousRice Ø49mm to 68mm x 0.70 Adapter Ring

  I designed some adapters to fit my Schneider Cinelux Anamorphic lens on a Ø49mm thread.   The adapter makes screwing and aligning much faster than other systems like clamps. It places your taking lens very close to your anamophic lens (5mm without a circular rotating filter, 15mm with a rotating filter), which will considerably reduce vignetting. It is also sturdy, made out of aluminium. On top of it, it brings way more precision to your rig than a lot of "homemade" systems, since you don't need to align both lenses on the viewing axis (you do need to rotate it however, to align the distortion). Aligning the verticals can be done either by adding a circular rotating filter (not included) or simply by loosening the screw and spinning the anamorphic lens before shooting. You can buy the first batch here, and I'll make new ones when they're all gone.
