Marks been talking about a bigger plan he has for the lenses but I know he's mentioned about the camera and equipment he already has could be hired out to smaller productions.
That’s true, but my point was that he doesn’t have a purely professional interest in lenses so I don’t think that it being mostly unusable for a pro would be any sort of block to him so long as it had any sort of collectors value.
Hi, digital era videographer here. My knowledge of the 1970s film technology is very basic, but from a brief inspection and a little research this appears to be an old semi-electronic super 8 film camera. The lens can’t be removed for one (he wants lenses to adapt to cinema cameras) and while I suppose you could just disassemble the thing and rehouse the glass, the lens diameters are for super-8 (8mm width) film; his new RED is a super35, but he’s also worked with full frame (35mm) cameras like the Sony A7III (wouldn’t shock me in the slightest if he’s since upgraded to an FX3 or the A7RV as this was his unnus annus camera).
TLDR: nice find, really great camera, but the lens is made for an older smaller format and can’t be taken off the camera.
Maybe he could collaborate with Bob, make a phone case and make a new lens housing that utilizes the glass inside that then can adapt to the online case. Boom he now has the power to use a minolta rokkor lens he can use for his phone. Because why not 🤣
A phone camera is probably closer to the right use case… still, phone adapter lenses are tricky because the width and focus distance has been determined to be at a certain point at a certain distance from the rear of the lens where the sensor / film stock would typically be; introducing another lens BEHIND that is a whole new can of worms. It’s sort of similar to something called flange distance, which I think he’s brought up before. It’s like how you need to have a magnifying glass at a certain distance to your eye to see through it clearly.
Still, a cool idea! If not it could make a very unusual viewfinder for a director, if not slightly inaccurate to the real camera focal length.
I don't know if it's really worth anything but it is old, from the late 1960s. https://www.filmkorn.org/super8data/database/cameras_list/cameras_minolta/minolta_autopak8_k11.htm
Don't tempt him, you'll get in a car acciddent.
I love how that's the full line of logic. Mark = car wreck
I don’t need to drive to get there, it’s about a block away from the house
Someone will run off the road and get you through the shop window
No that's ridiculous. Obviously a car would fall from the sky and crash through the roof!
A different kind of airdrop
because they listened to distractible of course
Undoubtedly
You don’t need to be in a car for the accident to happen
Nobody said the curse is dispelled when you buy it?
I'm still convinced the podcast is cursed
It would probably be a nice display piece for a collection but I don't think it could be used for professional purposes.
I mean he’s been collecting antique lenses for just their rarity and such, so I don’t the professional use is really taken into consideration here

Oh yeah I get you now. Didn't he say he was going to buy one of those cutaways of lenses to show all the different interior parts.
Iirc he said it would be cool but idk if he ever committed
On an episode of Go! My Favorite Sports Team Mark mentions that he has started rehousing the lenses he has gathered, but what that entails is unknown.
He’s been talking about disassembling lenses and taking the glass out and making his own lenses lately
...dear God!
Make a video.of you eating it
u/markiplier u/muyskerm
u/markiplier u/muyskerm
Send him a video of you washing it!
Didn’t he say he DIDNT want the 8.4 lense?
It was the 2.8 whatever the rest was. Not this lens variety I don't think
Definitely the 2.8! Not the 2! /s

wow i’m dumb. a little while ago i seen this exact thing at my local goodwill. Didn’t think it was a camera
Out of curiosity, what did you think it was if not a camera?
well i thought it was a camera, just a security cam or something
Rock and stone, brother!
Rock and Stone to the Bone!

My brains first urge was to say lick the lense but idk
u/markiplier u/muyskerm
Make a video of you using it as a hammer to smash some stuff. It would be really funny
Yes, from the minoltas pov

Oh Maaaaaarrrrrk
https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/most-valuable-minolta-lenses-recently_topic139580.html
Take a video of putting it in a compactor like other people do with other lenses
Make sure to wash it with water and soap before you sell it ❤️
Unless your Jesus I don't think you would survive
Clean your lenses bro
This is from a shop they don’t own the lens (yet)
You offer to Kenkuplier your lense?
[удалено]
BOOOOOOOOO
lmao no one asked
Shut up pessimist
I am in east central Ohio(about 90 minutes east of Columbus) if Mark would like to give me a Fetch Quest for a lens
