I followed a lens mod hack I saw on YouTube and adapted a 17mm threaded ring onto the front of my Chuzhao camera, which lets me use some of my other lenses with it. I didn't film the process, but I did snap a few photos along the way.
I edited them all into a quick video and uploaded it to YouTube. Please check it out!
A lot of people in the comments on the hack I watched were wondering how to get the original ring out. Let's just say it's pretty much "brute force"—you just have to force it to pop out. I used a pair of scissors, but I think a small screwdriver would also do the trick.
Some people in the comments also mentioned fumes from superglue and advised using epoxy glue instead, which is what I did. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I'd done it well enough at first because the part is tiny and I have clumsy fingers, but it all held together in the end!
And yes, if you follow my blog for the Tong Yao, Sun Li, Kajiura Yuki, and
Kalafina content, you might not know that I have many other
interests—photography being a big one! I particularly love lo-fi photography,
and ever since I got the Chuzhao a month ago, I've been shooting with it
pretty much every day. It's a lot of fun, but you really need to appreciate
that "toy camera" aesthetic to enjoy it.
Please check out my
IG @shoot_all_the_time
for my photos. I've currently been posting a lot of the photos shot on the
Chuzhao. EDITED (here's the link to my other blog which I just started for photography only. The detailed DIY guide is there.)
Now, for those of you who are here for my usual entertainment content—sorry! I've been a bit distracted by my other hobbies. Haha! I'll get back to it soon. :)
