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!
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!
