It's basically a cheap 50mm lens that broke. After initially being annoyed that it broke I decided to play around with it, taking it apart, putting it back together, moving things and so on. I can now use it in such a way that I can control (well semi control) the surreal nature of the results and to be honest it's the most fun I have had with photography in ages. It's amazing how the most fun things in this world come out of nothing. In my life all the best things have happened like this, either coming out of nothing or stumbling onto it by complete accident. That 50mm lens that cost me £100 about three years ago and you know it was alright for the price, it did the job but after breaking it is now a lens that gives me something special that I never would have bought.
I have yet to use it regularly as I have other new lenses that I have been testing out but I plan on taking it everywhere with me from now on. It just makes everything look interesting, lets be honest a lot of stuff in the world is just plain boring to look at but this lens can capture the scene for what it is but also gives a surreal view on it, kind of like how I see the world I suppose, I love it.
Here are some images I have taken with it so far.
