$4,000 camera meets modified $14 lens
I picked up a Holga 60mm f/8 lens for $13.99 and while I liked some aspects of the results, I wasn't fond of the harsh vignette this lens is manufactured for.
The first photo shows the lens and if you open the photo you can see the main "large" aperture surrounded by eight smaller holes. My idea was to block the eight and leave the single, How else: Duct Tape.
My objective was to see if I could mimic a Fine Art film appeal. I have no idea if it works or not...either way, it got me out of the house.
All photos are vertical stitched panoramas.
Photo 1 is 13 shots
Photo 2 is 10 shots
Photo 3 is 16 shots

Great post Dean, i love how committed you are to experimenting.
The results look great!
When I had film cameras (*ahem* Olympus XA), I hated vignetting. Now even cheap/free photo programs can fix that in a couple of seconds.
Enjoyed this post, Dean. Interesting and the shots were nice too! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, photos look great and the creativity behind the technique is something else. Comparing the second picture with the other ones, it looks miles apart. I do, however, enjoy the dream/misty look of the other ones as well, it reminds me of Twin Peaks.. Well done, Dean.
I guess there are still some issues while posting, sorry for the unintentional spam. I don't think I can delete comments can I?
