yes it can shock you but its not the battery that can do that, you don't need the comb, it would be like being scared of changing the battery in your tv remote. It is the capacitor for the flash (that black thing looking like a short battery you can see behind the camera flash) that can shock you, and some points of the circuit attached to it, which is pretty much the stuff you were touching around with your fingers. To discharge the capacitor just short the two leads with a screwdriver, it will be a nice spark (repeat again to be sure)
Why are the photos blurry? The mistake made here, was that you didn't unscrew the lens from the mount in the disposable camera. If that had happened, the base would have sat flush against the back of the body cap... Your version sits a lot closer to the sensor than it should. Have another go dude, and you'll get good results I think!
Totally agree. Kodak disposable camera works better sa the lens has a little bit different shape, in order to make it work it has to be outside of the cap of about 5mm, I’ve done it two days ago and the photos are in focus and not blurry, it’s really fun to use and think about making a couple for some friends of mine
I made this exact lens a few months ago. I found that Fujifilm lenses need to be further away from the sensor than Kodak lenses. I placed my fujifilm lenses outside of the camera screw cap, not inside. Then secured it with epoxy and electrical tape to avoid light coming in. My lens is sharp in the middle, with a gradual distortion in the edges. It’s my favorite lens.
@ I’m not in Fuji system anymore :) I still have that cap but don’t remember where, I can remember I’ve took away the “lens” from the disposable camera and clean the whole surface, keeping only som mm of flat plastic. Then drill a hole in the cap of the same dimension (12mm?) and cleaned a little bit the drill. Installed it and “blocked” everything (especially outside) with some loctite and Kintsuglue…the photos looked like a disposable camera but not blurry at all
This has probably been said in the comment section but if you put an old credit card outside the cap and then the lens housing instead of inside, it fixes the focus. I tried it with the same cap and disposable camera as you. Good luck!
You should try focusing this lens with an helicoid, might be interesting for a video. Also, have you ever thought of doing the same with a rangefinder? Like in the DIY videos of Vintage Optiks, taking a non-fuctional rangefinder and giving a new purpose to its lens
I just built one like yours but when I press the shutter button it doesn’t take any picture… I mean, it doesn’t shoot at all… what mistake you think I’m doing?
I don't think this has worked out. I have seen it done before with much better results. I don't exaclty know, what went wrong, but everything is just out of focus. That is weird, because usually these lenses are f10.
I’ve tried it on my camera but for some reason my camera just doesn’t let me take any photos. I’m using a canon m50 again with an apsc sensor. Do you know what it could be? Great video by the way
Thank you! Chances are your camera is refusing to take photos because it thinks a lens is not attached, to solve this, find and enable a setting in your camera called something like "Allow shooting without lens". I'm not sure what it's exactly called on canon cameras but It will be there in your settings.
I’m actually decided to watch this video only after my disposable camera hit me twice with an electric spark, that wasn’t something I was expecting, but I’m okay

@NickBeccalori what you put on the cap to make it 5mm above?

@@NickBeccalorido yoy knos the distance of how far away it has to sit? can you help us out with some info?😂

Why don't companies just make this and sell it for different cameras for around $20? I assume it wouldn't be hard to manufacture if it's all plastic
Actually ive seen some on Amazon recently for $25
@@taylortaizon what did you searched on amazon? i couldnt find it. thanks in advance!
@@taylortaizonyeah it is just not sure if it works for my camera
14€ in aliexpress, and its on the proper focal lenght so it focus
I did got a shock from the flash condenser 😅

The lens doesn't seem to be in the center, is it important ?
What settings are you using? I get either too dark or too light
use shutter speed mode
I just built one like yours but when I press the shutter button it doesn’t take any picture… I mean, it doesn’t shoot at all… what mistake you think I’m doing?
If you are using a fuji you need to turn on shoot without a lens setting
you may use a manual mode bc in my nikon when its in every mode i cant shoot without lens but in manual you can
using at night was a bit brave. fun ideas like this help people think or rethink their methods.

Because the lens is made for 35mm film (full frame sensor) but his camera is apsc sensor that why the focus is blur
@@ZanhIsMe I tried it myself today and achieved way better results - also with an apsc sensor, greetings
@@ZanhIsMethat’s not it. It is just too close to the sensor. The way he made it would be just as badly out of focus on a full frame sensor.
I ELECTROCUTED MYSELF AND ITS AL YOUR FAULT!!!!!

Is that a Moz poster behind you?
Would it work on DSLR?? I've 90d?
Of course its just a lens

Yes they can shock you. I built an electric mousetrap using the flash circuit and a soup can. Very effective, yes it will kill a mouse.

todo mal con la distancia del lente al sensor, creo que funciona mejor con las camaras kodak ademas de que el lente es mucho mas circular
Literally electrocuted myself and then watched the park where he warned me 😆
Learned about the shock the hard way when I was 12
wow awesome
there is a video in this mustache 😂!!!
love the video but this hispter vibe kills my vibe
What electric shock do you think you would get from an AA battery?
You will get shock by flash capacitor not by the AA battery.
Problém by mohl být ve vzdálenosti od roviny snímače a také, že to není vycentrované. Tohle je můj oblíbenec: th-cam.com/video/2ymKt4uhTOw/w-d-xo.html

hahah you gotta move the lens further away from the sensor; what a fail. But love your confidence!
if this was a 'how not to' then full marks, if not then why waste everyones time
