Hey Guys!

Been really intrigued by these things, the effects you can get are really amazing! all though I am not totally sure on how they work!

Do they fit just on the camera and work on there own, or do you fit your own lens with it?

If it is on it's own, what MM rating is it? they only give you a F stop figure on the site.

Thanks In Advance!

Wouldnt mind some people's opinions on these myself.
They look very funky and really suit the type of photograhpy Ive been enjoying recently

The effect is great but it soon gets boring. Great for a few funky shots but that's it !

This lens baby thingy what exactly to you expect it to do ,that you cant do with a Cokin Filter or a plain glass and smear of Vaseoline?
