How to build a functional virtual camera in Blender that simulates physical lenses and film emulsion layers using path tracing.
Download the camera! sirrandalot.gumroad.com/l/VirtualBlenderCamera How to use it: youtu.be/gI8Olz-SPP4 Or you can try it yourself, at your own risk... Had this idea 10 years ago, finally got around to it. Took a good couple of months too. Maybe I'll have to come back in another 10 years in order to properly simulate diffraction and lens flare...

The opposite extreme: physics-based rendering that models the entire optical chain of a film camera, including the emulsion layers. link to this video

Reminds me a bit of a guy who created a functional virtual camera in Blender with lenses and film layers. link to this video
