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

a black and silver metal camera on a tiny tripod. On the front of the lens is a black piece of plastic with ridged slots on either side of the lens

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)
