The Device

2023-08-08

Yesterday, while cleaning, I made an important discovery. I found a device. The device is the MULTIIMAGE x 5 filter by Cokin and associated filter mount. I had seen it in the old camera bag before, but had wrongly assumed it was a flash attachment, not a lens filter. The only lens I have that it fits is the 50mm lens on my family's old film camera but, luckily, I have an adaptor to connect that lens to my digital camera. Here are my initial attempts at shooting with a kaleidoscope filter

The filter holder, on the film camera (NB the two legs on the bottom aren't part of the filter holder. It's just a tiny tripod I'm using to shoot the camera at a better angle)

the effect is strongest with the aperture fully open
