Some pictures of it here.

There's also a couple of test shots, just click 'next'..

how much of an angle can you tilt it and still get a
reasonably focused picture?

p.s. awesome!

is it mainly for tiliting or easy zooming?

I don't know how many degrees, but the focus plane on some
shots is almost straight forward.

It's a 75mm enlarger lens and yes it only does tilting. I
don't know how shifting works, but it's not possible with
this thing.

That is great Paco, it looks so damn cool. The test photos
kick ass too, I like the blur effect!

have you seen the ones they sell that look very similar to
that?

Yes, the lensbaby.com one? It's nice, but I get better
optics much cheaper this way. The lensbaby gives streaky
background blur, but with this $15 Meopta, the blur seems to
be more calm and coherent.

Here's a nice project I might have to try:

those photos are fantastic Paco.... what camera do you use?

For these shots I used the Canon EOS 300D (digital rebel in
the States). The homemade lens works with any SLR really, at
the moment anyway, since I don't have any specific mount on
it yet.
