I just learned something! Lens whacking is something I’d never even think of trying, simply because my brain doesn’t ever quite go in those directions, it loves the straight and narrow paths haha. I discovered how to set my mirrorless to fire with no lens attached so guess I’m trying that today.
Yes, it should work with a film camera, just might be a bit more tricky. There's a sweet spot between live view on a modern camera and hard-stop focus rings on vintage glass that works the best I find.

I’m assuming you can do the same with film?

Pretty cool concept and if you have "shoot without lens" active you can use vintage lenses on your camera
I think it would more finicky to use on a film camera but definitely can be done

these are so cool! i’ve never tried free lensing but, i want to give it a shot. thanks for sharing, Chris!!
Happy to hear it. I hope you get some results!
