Fringe Glass is an online space dedicated to exploring the old, odd, and overlooked lenses crafted over the last century of cinema and still photography. These lenses—some rare, others surprisingly accessible—often carry the DNA of renowned optical designs. Through this journey, I aim to uncover their quirks and characteristics, preserving their history while unlocking their creative potential. This is not just an archival pursuit but a deliberate, creative one. These lenses will feature in my own projects, spanning commercial ventures and narrative setups alike.
