This morning I got playing with a borrowed 35-105mm lens and my 28-80 sigma lens, and attemped to replicate this trick which I heard about a few weeks ago (The video is embedded after the (more) tag in this post).

My results were pretty sketchy, it seems like there’s some sort of distortion and an amazingly thin depth of field. It also seemed impossible to get everything focussed correctly; I guess it’s going through about 20 lenses!

Click more to see the video how-to and some more photos I ended up with (not edited at all, and sorry about the size).
