A repurposed disposable film camera lens
Retropia takes the actual lens element from a disposable film camera and re-engineers it to mount on your digital body. No filter, no simulation. A real lens, producing the soft focus, vignettes, flares, and chromatic character that made disposable film photos feel the way they did.
- Real optical film character, straight out of camera
- Slim enough to double as a body cap
- Fixed aperture, infinity focus. No settings to touch.

What our teams found when we tested it.
"We tested this bundle internally before launch and the combination is exactly what we hoped for. The lens does something in-camera that we've never been able to replicate with presets alone, and the Cinegrams color science finishes it perfectly."
Liam
Founder, Retropia
"I've been shooting digital for years and always felt like something was missing. The Retropia lens changed that from the first shot, the softness and vignette are just there, automatically. Paired with the Cinegrams presets it's the closest I've ever gotten to the disposable film look without actually shooting film."
James
Creative Strategist, Retropia
"From the Cinegrams side, we built these presets to complement exactly what the Retropia lens is doing optically. Seeing them work together on real shots confirmed everything. This is the complete workflow we always wanted to put in one bundle."
Jamie
Founder, Cinegrams
Ten presets. Ten moods. All film.
The Cinegrams Vintage Film Presets were built around the same aesthetic world as the Retropia lens: soft, warm, and imperfect in all the right ways. Each one is inspired by an iconic film stock. Apply in one click. Feel the difference immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need both the lens and the presets to get the film look?
Technically, no. But the short answer is yes. The lens handles what happens optically: the softness, vignetting, and imperfections your camera captures in the moment. The presets handle color in post: the grain, tones, and warmth of classic film stocks. One without the other gets you halfway there. Together, that's the full look.
Will the lens work with my camera?
The Retropia lens is compatible with Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Canon EF-M, Canon EF/EF-S, Nikon Z, Nikon F, Micro Four Thirds, L-Mount, L39, and Leica M. It's built for mirrorless cameras and now also supports Canon EF/EF-S and Nikon F DSLR mounts.
My camera won't fire with the lens attached. What do I do?
Go into your camera's menu and enable "Shoot without lens" or "Release without lens." This allows the shutter to work with manual lenses like ours. Every major mirrorless camera has this setting.
Are the Cinegrams presets compatible with my version of Lightroom?
Yes. They work with both Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Mobile.
How are the presets delivered?
Instantly, via digital download after purchase. No waiting.
Is there a tutorial on how to use everything together?
Yes. The Cinegrams presets include a full video tutorial. The lens is plug-and-play: mount it, enable "shoot without lens," and start shooting.
What's the return window?
100 days. If something isn't right, reach out and we'll sort it.
