Hey thanks for the test, I am getting this lens for my canon as a christmas present, and I actually cant wait to try it out :) I think the stylized footage it creates is just great,

@JHVH1 That's exactly what I just did. I picked up the red as well, quite a coincidence. I'm looking forward to messing with the lens when it arrives. Thanks for info man. Have you looked into the macro tube extensions? It's a cheap attachment that I picked up for 7 bucks off ebay. It turns any lens pretty much into a macro lense. What other lenses are you using on your nikon? I don't know anyone else who uses one. I've done some music videos with mine and a 60d as our main camera.
Hey. Thanks for posting this video. I'm looking at picking up a Holga lens for my d5100. This quick video helped sell idea of getting one. Do you have any tips about shooting with one of these types of lenses?

@YourInOnIt It is stuck at a constant F8 so you need a lot of light, and there is basically not much of any focusing, but I guess that is the point. I picked it up off e-bay around $20 or so for the red one. I think it works well for shooting people. If you stabilized the video better and played with it, it could be fun for that.

@JHVH1 Also, what's your setup? What do you like/dislike about the camera?

@YourInOnIt This is my first DSLR, so I am still learning things. Though I kinda already had a little skill taking photos with less advanced cameras compared to people I know. Image quality on the D7100 is great. I also have the kit lens, and both the 35 and 50mm f/1.8G lenses.
