What a ride, space rangers! Our deepest, intergalactic thanks go out to everyone who backed the Neptune Convertible Art Lens System last month, and made it a reality.
Our fastest ever funded Kickstarter, we smashed through our initial target in less than three hours. You inspired us every second of this huge journey, sailing through stretch goals, scooping up extras and rewards, voting from all round the world for additional focal lengths, and joining us for our multiple Kickstarter Livestream events. We’re grateful once again to Kickstarter and to you all; for having proven your undying enthusiasm for reshaping contemporary photography.

We recently started work on a 15mm ultra-wide-angle component for the Neptune, requested by popular demand! Introducing Naiad: designed in less than a month, it will be available for pre-order in the near future!
If you missed out, pre-orders on the Neptune System have already begun! Fasten your seatbelts: the mission is only just beginning. Photography is never to be conquered — but constantly explored!

"For me, it's important to be able to run between locations and capture things that are happening very quickly, and the lens system felt like it accommodated to that really well."
Eleanor Hardwick is a fascinating multidisciplinary artist based in London. Her work has been exhibited in galleries around the world, including The Southbank Centre and Palais De Tokyo. We lent her the Neptune Convertible Art Lens System and she swept us away on a dreamlike escapade, through a forest of bluebells.

"I really look forward to the upcoming possible creations, for example, an ultra-wide front lens, or other lenses with fun effects."
Hong Kong Photographer Wilson Lee just got back from a riveting trip to the United States with the Neptune System on board. He shared with us the resulting photo diary, which is nothing short of stunning — and his thoughts on how the future with the Neptune System is looking bright.

"I have been really surprised by its results and the tri-dimensionality the lens can produce."
Italian videographer Giacomo Favilla shot a gorgeous video with the Neptune. For our magazine, he explains his preference to always work with manual focus — and how the Neptune allowed him to do so whilst keeping his aperture in the same position — even when changing the focal length.
