Just a random thought
Quote from Gawad on March 5, 2023, 5:23 pm[spoiler title=""][/spoiler]I was watching a video on youtube about modifying the Gameboy camera to be an interchangeable lens systems and that got me wondering: has anyone here considered using d-mount or c-mount lenses with their phones? maybe modding the back or a phone case to have a mount which allows the lenses to project their image on the phone take lens especially that the small image circle of d-mount lenses would easily cover the phone lens.
of course there's a lot of math that I know nothing about that'd be needed but it just feels like a neat way to give life to old phones and lenses.
Would definitely love to hear your thoughts.

It is possible to use d-mount or c-mount lenses with your phone, but as you mentioned, it comes with certain technical obstacles.

For a long time I've wanted to play with on of these, a modified GoPro or other action cams with mounts for c lenses and others. I feel like that would be super fun.
