I bought the 72mm size in a Tokyo Bic Camera store in person but you can find them on Amazon Japan too.
It’s designed more for bigger cameras so is a little unwieldy I found.
This is my black Pentax Q with my own efforts to adapt the 72mm Soratama to the 02 zoom lens.
You need to juggle getting focus close to the ball, hence the spacing tubes etc... Also you have to consider how big you want the ball to be in your frame too. The focal length of the lens also dictates the field of view of the background around the sphere...
I just received a much smaller 52mm “Soratama for iPhone” version that is from Amazon Japan too costing about 45USD that includes a built in macro lens. I’m keen to adapt it for the Pentax Q. There are a handful of these Tokyo-grapher Soratama units still available on clearance right now by the way. Note the iPhone mount is not included.
If I can’t get it to work on my Q’s I can always use it on a mobile phone is my thinking. The drawback would be a camera phone having fixed aperture would not give me control of depth of field on the ball edges.
