Very cool, but too many head on shots, need to work this lens a little harder to see what it does.
I kinda like the messed up grainy shots better, but thin grainy negs are hard to print.

Head on shots because it smears going away from the center.

@Huss superb!

Thanks!

Similar to pinhole, if you tilt the camera certain ways you can use the distortion to a greater effect.

I really like this lens. I really lika this lens. I really Leica this lens.

I have an "Ultra Wide and Slim" camera, but this lens seems to produce much better results. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Vivitar_Ultra_Wide_&_Slim

Ah, I take it you have encountered the esteemed "Optical Crystal Lens" of the Empire Baby https://www.junkstorecameras.com/project/empire-baby/

I missed that one. Plastic is easy to mold. If it's hard coated, who knows. Nikon and others are using plastic aspherical lens elements.

I clicked on that link which took me down a most excellent rabbit hole!
I have one of the Barbie 110 cameras. Unused (as of now).. And I see there is a 35mm version! Oh dear..

How can I make that picture go away?


I have better stuff I made with a Kodak 35RF when I was 12. That was 48 years ago. Plus X
What is your point? To show off your gear?_put a crap lens on a ridiculously expensive body? What?

Forget that 18mm Super Elmar Asph, I'm using a pancake made from recycled Fuji Quicksnap disposable cameras!

These are the complete images to the edge of the film, no cropping/adjusting/levelling etc.

Congrats dude! You just invented the $10'000 Holga! If only there was a market for this...

That is great, I want one.

That is great, I want one.

It is the first Leica with an optical lens.

And I can put a Holga badge on my MD, that will make next camera club meet up interesting.
