Nokia 6280 with SLR optics
Resently the cameras on cellphones are getting better and better. How ever the optics on them are mostly crap made of cheap plastic.
Then i spawned the idea “Why not oparate an SLR lens on to the cell?”
This hack will give you 36x optical zoom on your cell just because of the crop factor + the zoom of the lens you may use. I’d strongly recomend using a prime lens for easier calibrating the focal distance.
I chosed to use a Nikon 50mm f/1.4…
The first thing to do is get rid of the old crappy one…1: Remove the plastic back of the cell
2: Remove the 4 torc-screws and gently pry of the lid, exposing the electronics.
3: Now it’s time for the really delecate stuff, getting the old lens off.The promblem is that Nokia in all their wisdom glued the lens on the camera and to get i off, you’ll have to brake it by gently prying a screwdriver in between the lens and the tube holding it.
4: Now it’s time to put it all back together again (do step 2 and then 1)
5: You need to get a hold of a c-mount/SLR-lens converter… Like the one i used in the Super zoom on a surveillance camera. article.
6: Carve out a hole in the backplate to fit the converter. Remember the hole should be exactly above the CCD-chip, this is very important!!!
7: Use about 7 layers of moulding tape to hold the converter on to the backplate.
8: Assemble the phone and mount your lens.
Get ready to shoot!
NOTE: The downside of this project is that the a little wobly on the camera so focusing can be a little hard to do… And do to the fact, the nikon lens isn’t optimized for such a small chip the pictures taken, will have some light stribes along the sides of the foto.
