  "account": "The Adapted Optics Everyday Lens is a 3D-printed 32mm full-frame mirrorless lens that brings the distinctive lo-fi look of disposable camera photography to modern cameras. It is designed by YouTuber Thomas Spicher, and is available in Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Leica L, and Micro Four Thirds mounts. Spicher started working on the lens as a curiosity project, salvaging lenses from a broken thrift store find. The lens has a minimum focus distance of 10 inches/25.4cm, and interchangeable aperture plates that allow for creative bokeh and different depths of field. The Everyday Lens can be customized with different colors and finishes, and is available for purchase at a price of $99/£99.",
