I was looking around and found a reddit thread about them and one of the posters threw up his flickr, apparently he uses them:

Looks like it's a lens with a mount and you have to buy these effects filters and shit. Well... they also have dedicated prime lenses with some type of effect in them.

I haven't gone anywhere yet where I feel I need to use something like that, but one day I will. There's a camera shop near downtown Ann Arbor that rents lenses. I've toyed with the idea of renting a 400mm or 600mm joint for wildlife pics around this area but haven't done it just yet.

I just found a slightly newer camera at a pawn shop a coupla weeks ago and dropped some bread on it. Also found one for my nephew at the same spot for cheap (Canon T3i for $150) so I put some down for it last week. Same joint he was using to take pics for the yearbook in high school last year. I'mma prolly get it out this weekend if my client pays me my outstanding invoices today or tomorrow.
 
Took this over the weekend. The dragonfly was on my car's antenna on the opposite side of the ride. I think I could have got a better shot if I had at leased braced my arm against the car some way. IS was on but I still think this could have been a lot better. Maybe full manual where I could stop down for better depth of field would have captured the whole thing better.

Bought my nephew a Canon EOS T3 from a pawn shop near campus today. He's taking photography classes but only has a lil point-and-shoot to use. Just ordered caps for the front and back of the 18-55mm lens that came with it, a cap for the body, a strap, and a simple tripod. Prolly order some spare batteries this weekend (it has one along with the charger). I'mma throw him my Canon 35-80mm and 75-300mm kit lenses to get started with (both in the pic). They're definitely not great, but at least he'll have something to start out with.

Welp, copped this from the same pawn shop that I got my nephew's joint from:

Still haven't made that jump to full frame, but this is still a decent upgrade from my current EOS Rebel XSi. It came with two lenses: The dreaded Canon 75-300mm kit lens (with absolutely trash chromatic aberration) and this fairly old fully manual Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 prime lens made for Nikon film cameras of yesteryear (really... Theses were new in the 60's and 70's). It's sitting on an adapter for Canon ES and I had to get a cap for both ends. Doesn't look like the glass is damaged at all. Hopefully I can take some interesting shots with it.

Gotta get a decent class 10 SD card for it, a neck strap, and a couple of spare batteries for it. I'm prolly gonna put it into service next weekend on my next sidequest.

If any of y'all ever thought about entering any of your stuff in a competition, entries for the Sony World Photography Organization's competition is closing in 15 hours. You get three free entries in the Open Competition and there's like 10 categories. I just paid for an extra 10 pics (~$20 after currency conversion). Prolly shoulda done 20 but maybe next year.

Anyways, I just got done uploading my pics. Throw your hat in the ring and see what happens.

@Goldie got some heat for street photography category on the last few pages and that shot of the Polaroid camera would prolly do well in the Object category.
