A Brand New Lens!!
It’s true. I have a new lens! I have recently added a 38mm Super-wide Diana Lens from the Lomography family to my collection of glass. How? Lomography now make lens adaptors for Nikon and Canon DSLRs bringing lo-fi to otherwise crisp imagery.
I’m planning to give it a bit more of a run-through later today and tonight. I have noticed some things such as the colour produced by this lens is much more vibrant than expected. Even though I thought I was prepared for a grainy image. nothing prepared me enough when I viewed on on the monitor. It did take a little getting used to. Having said that, this little lens is opening up new thoughts and approaches to photography. And for a mere $US76.72 from Photojojo’s store, (including postage), I couldn’t have asked for more.
This was my breakfast this morning. Bacon and eggs, (scrambled) toasted sandwich. Much needed after a morning run-around with Australia Post in order to get my lens.

Good to see you’re also getting into unusual lenses. Personally I went with the Lensbaby, which isn’t quite as cheap, but gives equal fun!
