How about a Glittering Gaudy Lens ?
Do you know, this is called “Kawaii” in the Japanese norm today.
Settle with flowers to create Kawaii image was rather casual approach though,
otherwise — kitten’s picture if not small child or young girl.
— But these days, to deal with child or young girl, the risque is too high.
So, I would rather choose a camera. —– best of all, it’s cost virtually nothing.
Here, it was a 30 years old Olympus film camera. The camera of that
age is much easier to disassemble and to utilize its mechanism.
The camera then had auto-winding-up, rewind (Photo above left = the
train of gears on the bottom of the body convey the power of the motor in
the winding-up spool to the rewinding fork), auto-focus, collapsible lens
etc, very useful mechanism though, “fully auto” then did not necessary
had everything. = The exposure control was done by one mechanism =
= two L-shaped blades worked as a Shutter and an Iris same time.
(Photo above, right) Under the bright light, the blades open very little
and close quick = worked as high speed shutter with small F-aperture.
And when it was dark, blades will fully open and close after a while,
so in any condition, it gave a combination of somewhere between.
(Though, such mechanism is not useful anywhere else.)
What I found useful was their zoom lens barrel. I removed all the lens
and the mechanism then I put a single meniscus lens. (So that the zoom
barrel became a focusing helicoid for the lens which can give the focus
from infinity to 1/2 close up.) This lens has about 60mm focal length
and the diameter of 35mm = effectively F1.8.
The lens had no coating and such single lens has a lots of aberrations and
the halation of which I’m after and this lens got glittering gold encoder.
— isn’t it gorgeous or bad taste ? 😀 ( I didn’t put — it was there.)
Incidentally, this lens showed this character (and see the difference)
