Just a tiny nitpick, current Lensbaby will never be what these lenses are - superb optics freed from the chains of the focusing helicoid. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The lens I've used is a Tamron Adaptall lens, which is designed to 35mm. More info about Adaptall at http://www.adaptall-2.org/ But literally you can use any lens as long you are ready to sacrifice it for the greater good :) .timber -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Very cool, and rather evil, the last thing I need right now is another silly project to distract me. Do you need to use a lens with an extra long registration distance?

GESO: My new toy: Zie Zelektor!
Hi List, Since a while now I had a Tamron Adaptall SP f2.5 24mm (01BB) that I didn't really use. Lately the only thing I did with this lens is freelensing, but after 10-15 freelensing photos my sensor just got too dirty :D So I've decided to modify the lens into a permanent freelensing solution, something like the Lensbaby is. Took the lens and totally shaved off everything from it except what's the base of the lens (literally the metal parts around the glass parts) so I will have a bit more room to play with without any collision. Also took the Tamron Adaptall PK mount and removed all the parts except the mount itself. The two is linked together with some high precision super bending mechanics made out of extra high level special elastic material (*coughs* a piece of a bike inner tube) and voila, here's my own better-than-lensbaby super new lens system: Zie Zelektor 24mm! :) As we had a street party at Tottenham I took the lens for a walk and I just loved playing around with it. Mastering the use of it still needs LOADS of practice but I am already loving the results I've got. So here's the flickr set dedicated my new toy (including a picture of the Zelektor mounted on my Pentax K-r): http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/sets/72157626609950862/with/5670879686/ Comments and critiques are always welcomed! Best Regards, .timber Ps.: Since the tube is a bit longer than it has to be I can use it as a macro lens as well :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
