We’ve come across a number of weird lenses and lens accessories over the years, but the Soratama from Zenjix certainly stands out from the crowd, for better or worse. The lens attachment features a 72mm filter thread and is designed to go in front of nearly any lens you can find step down/up rings for.
It uses a single sheet of glass with what is effectively a clear marble to turn the world around you into a little globe of sorts.
These globe-style shots aren’t new, per se, but unlike photos that use larger glass orbs, this attachment is smaller and means your hand won’t be in the image. We can’t attest to image quality, but the above video shows what kind of shots are possible with the Soratama. There are multiple versions of the Soratama being sold on eBay, starting around $95 with shipping.
