A device for appreciating the real image

Yunoskura is a device for appreciating the real image created by interchangeable lenses for photographs.
You can enjoy the optical itself, which separates the waist-level viewfinder experience from the camera and the lens collects light and forms an image.

With the spread of smartphones and mirrorless cameras, opportunities to see the real images created by lenses with the naked eye without going through the sensors have been greatly reduced. As technology is rapidly becoming a black box, the real image created by lenses makes us feel once again the beauty of the optical technology that humans have built up.

The scenery before it becomes a photo

When using cameras, we see images converted into digital data by image sensors and photographs that are established on film. However, the light passing through the lens creates a real image before they are recorded.

Unoscra was created for direct viewing without recording the real image.

On the screen, the scenery is flipped to the left and right. The image on the screen changes from moment to moment according to the movement of the person or the scenery in front of you. It's not an image through a sensor or a display, but a real image created by the light passing through the lens on the spot.

Even if you can't record it, there is a mysterious charm there. In the first place, photography technology has also developed through the accumulation of trial and error of trying to somehow record the image that is born.

Even in today's world, where everyone can easily take pictures, the real image of a lens itself remains unchanged. It's good to have a device for viewing the statue, not just for taking pictures. That's how I created UNOSCRA.

Scenery that changes with the lens

Unoscra supports manual focus lenses used in film cameras.

If you replace a lens with a different focal length, the visible range and image size will change even with the same scenery. You can see and compare the differences in the drawings of each lens directly on the screen.

You can turn the focus ring to shift the focus from the near object to the distant landscape, or to manipulate the aperture to change the brightness and the range of focus. You can enjoy the old lenses you have on hand in a different way than taking pictures.

Glass high definition screen

The screen is made of hand-polished frosted glass, one by one.

The finish of the screen surface is an important factor that determines the sharpness of the projected image. We have verified the polishing method and finish many times so that even a small screen can show the image produced by the lens as finely as possible.

form just for viewing

Unoscra is not a tool for taking pictures, so there is no need to make it look like a conventional camera. On the other hand, it is a lens that has actually been used in the camera. While aiming for a unique shape that is different from the camera, we value the balance of size and texture when combined with the lens, and the fit when held in hand.

As for the screen, there is no need to match the rectangular format of the film or image sensor. Therefore, we made the screen a circular shape so that we can enjoy the image circle itself created by the lens.

A 37mm diameter screw is provided around the screen so that a lens cap and hood can be attached. The cap protects the screen when you carry it, and you can use the hood to block ambient light in bright areas.
