Nikon D850 DSLR camera body and AF-S 50mm f/1.8 lens on black background with text overlay reading 'Flop or Not?'

An $89 full-frame autofocus 50mm sounds like a typo, yet the TT Artisan 50mm f/1.8 Neo is real, and it does exactly what a 50mm should do.

Every serious hobby eventually turns into a chore, and photography is no different. When you've come home empty-handed four or five outings in a row, the little voice telling you to quit gets loud, and beating it takes more than better planning.

By: Mathieu Stern

Originally published on Mar 1, 2017

Today we will create some Lensbaby tilt shift lenses that cost 30$ and that are actually way better than the original which is ” just” 400$.
Using two soviet vintage Helios lenses and some rubber adapter, you can create some incredibly cool tilt effects for your portraits or landscapes.

Before every one starts to freak out, here are some interesting links for you :

here you can buy the Helios adapter for 10 $, it’s the one i use in the video :
