Last call, Lomography Neptune anyone?


Recommended Posts

Few minutes left to commit to the Neptune system. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lomography/the-neptune-convertible-art-lens-system?source=nl_convertible_lens_kickstarter_closing_nld&utm_campaign=nl_convertible_lens_kickstarter_closing_nld&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter

 

I am not interested but someone might.

This is a new... :rolleyes: ... version of a very OLD concept like the lenses of the Kodak Retina III. :blink: (and other cameras too)

 

You have a lens with a basic element and focussing mechanism and three front elements to create three lenses . This concept was tried and failed because of the introduction of zoom lenses . I can’t imagine how it would be beneficial to use one of these systems on any modern cameras, let alone the fact that you can expect to fidget with small lens elements and to have them exposed to the elements (dust collecting galore) in your bag if you want to practically exchange them.

 

I love my Petzval because of its quirks but this is a step too far. ;)
