Anyone has this little fun lens?

Got mine recently and I'm loving it lots.

A photo of it ...

... with my E-P1

Some test shots the night of unboxing ...

More test shots from that night here.

You can get it from eBay from this seller called SLR Magic. There is a link to his store in my blog. Sorry I am at work now and can't get into ebay at the moment. Holga? Nah ... these digital stuffs are fun but they can never replace the fun of a real Holga.

Who? Me?

Nah. I have been busy with shitty work and also spent much time with my kiddo ... that I didn't have much time to lurk in forums.

I just got mine in the mail today too!

Can't wait to actually play with it!

Funny stuff.
Is the lens a C-mount lens on m4/3 adapter or comes in as m4/3 directly?
It looks a downright C-mount CCTV lens to me.

Sorry didn't open it yet. I have 2 papers due on Wed, so I promised myself not to open it till after school on Wed.

But from what I read, the lens attaches directly to the body without an adapter (Or maybe an adapter is provided already?). At least SLR Magic on ebay did not say anything about having to order an adapter...

Hope this helps!

What's the size of the lens cap?
For China made C-mount CCTV 25/1.4, the lens cap is of 30mm.
For Pentax Cosmicar C-mount CCTV 25/1.4, the lens cap is of 27mm.
The shape and the size of this toy lens are more akin to the latter from the pictures above.

Admin can consider placing the thread under "Lens Sample Archive".

Of course!

The e-p1 seems perfect for these "toy camera" lenses! I can't wait to order one!

Weather really sucks these past few days, but I shot this photo & like the effect(s) it gave me.

Shot wide open due to the weather being dark & gloomy..

I love this photo

This lens really rocks for an effect lens, it has lots of character,
even though I have praised this lens before.. I must do it again......
But, I really praise the photographer for knowing what kind of subjects work well with the effect it produces.

Thanks for the kind words!

I was skeptical with the lens at first but now I'm waiting for the next SLR Magic lens

Don't they make a 35mm f/1.7?

I think that's for the Sony NEX.

A few weeks ago, via Twitter, SLR Magic was looking for testers for Micro Four Thirds version of their soon to be released fast(er?) lens!

Link to 35mm f/1.7 for m4/3 on Ebay

Must be ready......

Oh I was wrong about the 35mm only being for NEX. I remember seeing that version for Micro Four Thirds, but decided to go with the faster (yet pricier f/1.4)

The new lens is rumored to be a 11mm.

Edit.. it seems like they raised the price of that 35mm. Maybe this is the new one??

If there is a 11mm lens and it does not vignette much, I'll be intrigued.

Well, if is around $130.00 like the 26mm and 35mm, it would make a cool 90* or so wide on the cheap! The vignette can be fixed in post with most software.
