With lenses getting more and more expensive, here is a nice trick for getting wonderful photos with an f/1.8 140mm lens for less than 100$.

Austria based photographer Attila Fricz of mflenses hacked together an old KO 140mm f1.8 projector lens to a Sony NEX-7 and the results are a delight.

The lens occasionally pops on ebay for around $60 and you gotta admit that it is not a bad price for a 140mm @ f/1.8 lens. According to some sellers it will also work on full frame sensors, which makes it a real bargain. You do have to connect the lens with an adapter and some gaff tape, but the results are, as expected quite awesome.
