Well this thread and results wont be to everyone's taste but I really enjoyed the effects created by the tragic end to my 50mm f1.8 II lens.

It got smashed and I used the front element reversed onto a Takumar 28mm to get the below effect which I really liked, let me know what you think.

Me being stupid left my camera and lens on sofa arm... with 3 under 4's around the inevitable occurred. Can use it as excuse to get a new lens eg 18-35mm sigma art :D Just need to save up some cash. (y)
 
I like 4006, cool (y)
 
Not to my taste, I'll happily admit BUT I can see that they are effective and appreciate any form of recycling!

Completely understand, was never gonna be to everyones taste but I can see some uses in what I do so appreciate it as an option available to me. :D
 
Yep Bryn very good but, not a massive fan though, do you realise people pay very little money to get that effect using eBay macro filters :LOL:

Lol... should have guess you would ask that Mr Portrait (at the moment at least) sneaky sneaky...

Dont think the magnification is enough really may try it on front of Venus. But did shoot my new niece with it and it worked out well.
