I don’t know why this information is not pinned on to billboards. This is probably the most expressive and elegant technique that I’ve tried so far. Here it is: you don’t have to attach the lens to the camera body. That’s it 🙌 it’s called freelensing. Works best with 50-ish mm lenses, and please do try it with the plastic diana lenses! If it doesn’t work as you like try flipping the lens backwards and focus again. Or whatever — who needs focus anyway 😄
