thanks guys. glad i inspired 
the pics i took were all shot in live view for better control. then you would handle the lens like a lens baby!
ill see what i can do. didn't really take any 'before' pictures. i just made it on the spur of the moment!
for the guys interested in making their own. you have to remove the bayonet mount of the manual lens
to allow the lens to move around (tilt & shift) and get images in focus.

Is the lens fixed to f/1.8 aperture, and set to infinity and you focus with by physically moving the whole lens?
And how did you bond to the K-mount body cover?
Might reuse an aged 50mm f/2 M42 Pentax lens....
Thanks!

This is fantastic. As people have said, the ingenuity is just pure brilliance matched equally by the quality of the shots. Very well done to you!
