>We seldom talk about 3D printing lenses because most techniques can’t possibly produce transparent parts of optical quality. However, you can 3D print something like a lens, as [Luke Edwin] demonstrates, and get all kinds of crazy pictures out of it. [Luke’s] lens isn’t really a lens, per se. There’s no transparent optical medium being used to bend light, here. Instead, he’s printed a very fine grid in a cylindrical form factor, stuck it on a lens mount, and put that on the front of a camera.

I was going to say that. Used to have a big box of filters - star, fuzz, portrait, etc. Was cool but not really of use for what I do. I sold all of it when my old Sony Mavica CD finally died after 20 years.

Still have a polarizer and some basic stuff for the big Canon digital I bought some years ago, but really...most phone cameras are perfect for the candid shooting I do these days.

Filters? Like on tiktok?

Fucking die zoomers.

No, filters like pieces of glass that fit on the end of your lens to give the image some sort of quality or change the light coming in to the device in order to match film types or lighting styles.

Like when you see a video where all the fluorescent lamps are greenish? They have the wrong filter or film type in the camera.

Apparently you missed my complete discussion about Cokin, the above was humor.
