DIY Tilt-shift Lens made from Canon 50mm 1.8 with auto aperture

DIY Tilt-shift Lens made a year ago! After I've tested the usability of this lens I've finally decided to edit the footage.

Made with a kind not-so-free spoilt Canon 50mm 1.8 which I paid US$15 for. This lens is known for its fragility, one drop and it will break into 3 pieces. Therefore I found way to recycle it.

Autofocus motor is still inside but disabled. Aperture can be controlled.

@alphaferret1220 haha 'what' is amazing? The trip or the place? No I don't quite like Singapore haha

[Hhmmmmmmmmmm]

hahaha your voice is amazing! nice lens too, did you have to modify anything to keep the appeture control? I have just broken a lens and have been looking for a fun way to use it

@Hhmmmmmmmmmm haha thanks. You might need to fix the AF/MF button at MF, as long as the circuit board is intact you should be fine! Good luck!

@witonohalim I really enjoy the atmosphere there, as well as the urban location of singapore, as a vacation location. Plus i just got back from a trip in Bangkok which I didn't particularly enjoy, so Singapore was a refreshing contrast for me.
