Building a Lens

veato · 02-24-2016, 07:17 AM

I decided to butcher an old 28mm manual lens I had lying around and turn it into a tilt/shift style lens. It was pretty successful so I blogged about my exploits here: Planet Veato: Building a Tilt/Shift Lens

Have a read if you fancy having a go.

I do have some slight regret as the lens I chose was actually in very very good condition and a good sharp lens at that! I would advise picking something cheap up from eBay if you fancy it yourself.

Good job!
I think I'm going to give this a try...
