Homemade lens effects Anonymous
Hey so everyone. Whats going on? I would like to shoot with some crude fisheye, barrel distortion or vignetting effect. I don't own a SLR, my main camera is a panasonic fz. Has anyone here experimented with using commonly found items to produce different effects, like certain bottles or class dishes.

BTW i'm not looking for photoshop effects because i believe there is no substitute for real physics.

Sweet man, nice idea. Maybe i could buy a peephole at a hardware store but unless there a big ones availible i don't know how good it will work considering the fz lense is over 40mm in diameter. Anyone else have any good ideas or are you all too busy masturbating over hardware threads.

Maybe i should just relent and buy an overpriced lomo fisheye 35mm.
