Me and Chris from @skyllaneyoptomechanics have bee Me and Chris from @skyllaneyoptomechanics have been talking about working together on bringing lenses to market for nearly a year now. We have some big plans...!
The first of our projects will be available in the next few months, hopefully. 
This is going to be a very high build quality m-mount pancake lens with a  characterful wide angle optic rehoused from a compact camera. 
This is a lens I have personally wanted for myself for a while - it’s going to be a fairly niche-interest bit of kit... just how I like it! 😁
More details to follow, but since this will be a limited batch of ~25 lenses, if you’re interested, let me know ASAP and I’ll add you to the list...

Something I didn’t mention in the article was that I had this stunning @kamerakraft grip on the base of the camera! I’ll be writing about it in the new year sometime properly.

This Pentax Q7 arrived today. I’ve wanted one fo This Pentax Q7 arrived today. I’ve wanted one for a little while, I quite fancy trying some little old cine lenses on it. I’ve also been intrigued by 3 of the lenses Pentax made for this system: the 01 Standard Prime which is a f/1.9 lens with an 8.5mm normal focal length, the 03 Fisheye lens and the 07 Shield lens which is a single element f/9 11.5mm toy lens. 
As such, when I spotted this kit on ebay with all three lenses I went for it! I’m not sure I would have chosen the yellow had I more choice, but I quite like it now I have it!
