"Lensing"?

[RobertJ]

The term is VERY old.

I'm more familiar with this term when people refer to which cinematographer is shooting a film.

For example:
- "Roger Deakins Lensing Blade Runner 2"
- "Pitt starred in the Deakins-lensed The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
- “Villeneuve has once again delivered an impeccably well-crafted film, not least in Deakins’ arresting lensing.”)

You get the point.

Then, I thought that a "scope" was this:

I welcome the the verb, at least it shows an appreciation that the lens is more important than the camera.

Aye, I eye your opinion with interest.

Cameras don't shoot people, people shoot people

I've seen it used a lot in on fashion blogs and magazines: "<model> lensed by <photographer>"

I think it is a silly term because it is both unnecessary and sounds inaccurate since lensing conjures up telescoping or digiscoping rather than actually recording/capturing anything.

Don't worry, I left my camera at home so you won't have to worry about being lensed, LOL. BTW, lovely furniture

Nancy,

I think it is a Smithsonian Architeuthis sample. Mesonychoteuthis would, I expect, be substantially larger, here are some lenses:
