Do not forget that Xiaomi idea digicam telephone that had an uncovered 1” sensor and a mount for detachable lenses? It was based mostly on the Xiaomi 12S Extremely that was modded to simply accept Leica M mount lenses. It was cool, but it surely was only a idea and it was by no means made accessible to common customers.
When you have the DIY expertise, you may make your personal as this video from channel Mod and Shoot demonstrates. It begins with the Sharp Aquos R6, a Japan-only Android from 2021 which has a 1” 20MP sensor.
The Sharp Aquos R6 because it comes out of the field
The telephone’s 19mm Leica Summicron lens needed to go, in fact, and it was changed with a C mount. This mount was initially used on 16mm cameras, today they’re extra widespread in safety cameras. With the proper adapter, this setup can use lenses from all kinds of different cameras as you will note within the video. There’s one huge draw back to this – properly, two for those who rely the added bulk – which is that autofocus doesn’t work, so it’s important to focus manually.
The creator of this mod has plans for making an analogous modification to a Sharp Aquos R7 from 2022 which encompasses a larger decision 47MP 1” sensor (with an 11MP binned mode) and new video modes like capturing in 8K.
Mod and Shoot’s Instagram account has a few movies and a photograph taken with the modded R6, so go and take a look.
