This image has a bit of a fun origin

This is a picture of a 3D printed miniature Krusty placed in front of a computer monitor displaying an image of mountain view. It was taken using a 1960s 16mm Soviet projector lens adapted (after a couple hops) to a Lumix G9. The image was then ran through Lightroom, Audacity, Lightroom again, and the parental advisory logo was added afterwards using Gimp.

The model is roughly 1 inch tall.

The model was unpainted at the time of the photo and I have since given the model to a friend. Though I'll probably print more of him.

They're not as expensive as I initially thought it they're still more expensive than vintage glass. I think my lens cost like $100 after shipping.

Edit: But vintage lenses do have some interesting traits that you really don't seem to get from modern lenses due to each of their individual histories.

Yeah okay, that's actually very reasonable. But yeah, all the little design flaws in those old lenses add up to give the image its very own character.

For instance, they used Helios and Jupiter lenses for some scenes in The Batman, and even detuned their anamorphic cinema lenses to get the look more in line with those two.
