Thanks, Jussi, among my unfavorite things are fisheye lenses and lensbaby.  It's OK, I guess, another one, sort
of a selfie:

Those are great results. What was the technique you used? Flipping the lens? Is that like reversing a lens for macro work?

David, thanks, yes, it's a simple meniscus lens that you flip. Here's an how-to:
http://blog.expiredfilm.com/2010/03/10/how-to-flip-a-brownie-hawkeye-flash-lens/
About a 5 minute job, or less.
A plug for sending 120 color negative film thru Walmart, it is still just 84 cents and yup, got
the 620 spool back as requested. |

Should add, safe zone for focusing is anywhere between 2 to 5 feet, as opposed to unflipped 6 feet and
beyond. |

David, thanks for your comments! Well, I need to pin down a few people with duct tape and see how it goes (shutter speed
is around 1/40sec, don't want them to move ). I have the sinking feeling they will be 'slightly less' magnificent than your
Rolleiflex/Planar pictures, but maybe they will partially make up for it in atmosphere/mood.
Thanks again. |

1/40 is not so long, you should give it a try without duct tape. |

Still trying to germinate here Bill!
The car shots look great - to me the blur is very effective on objects that you can imagine are moving, but the effect
doesn't work so well with the static seat and trees to my eyes.
Love the colours, even though it's old film.

Peter, agree, the last is not such a successful attempt as the car pix. I took
some flower shots that were way OOF, need to find the exact focusing distance
when shooting with the flipped lens and No 13 filter attached. |

I hope to nail down the right distance for focusing both with flipped lens
and No. 13 filter attached. Here's one from a flickr member that got much
closer to good focus:
flipped lens+No 13 filter |
