The Cheapest Tilt-Shift DC & Lens Ever

The camera has built-in Lomo effect, too, without the need of applying a digital filter! Just look at the sample photos, for example:-



Really Nice~ It's time for Pentax to make such a toy lens for the Q, really! ;->

It reminds me of when the last time Pentax did a shift (only, not tiltable) lens of theirs, in K-mount, which is the K28/3.5 Shift.

Btw, if Pentax does not make it, the user can still do it yourself, here is a guide. The guy modded a lens to tilt/shiftable and then put it on an *ist DS to shoot! :-o

But then, after all, is it really so important, as certain built-in software digital filters of our Pentax cameras could still do some similar effects! Right? ;-p

There's a simpler way to achieve such "modern" effects these days. And all without the need of modding anything at all. Arax is said to be capable of producing very decent if not very good tilt shift solutions (currently 80mm and 35mm, both f/2.8) which were originally designed to fit medium format camera. Though I've never used any of these lenses they sure look nice and are acceptably priced - at around 400$ to 680$ they're a whole lot cheaper then the Canon or Nikon equiv's. Plus the 80mm would be great for product photography!
