Picked up my new bellows today!

Thank you to Ray, you gave me some good advice on this piece and I really apreciate that.

I'll bet he had a lensbaby on his camera, like a cheap tilt shift system, it is a flexible tube like a round bellows that allows for a lens to be defocused in areas. There are some really neat stop motion videos using this techinique, see my favorite one lately a trip to San Paulo Brasil for the Carnivale! It's like watching toys - though everything is real.

I've actually got a lot of cameras, my main Canons are 1Ds, 20Da, 30D modified for IR and Ha astronomy shooting, 7D, 5D, 5DMKII, sold off my (4) 1D models after my photography gig laid me off. Also had a Contax 645AF system which I sold as well. The (5D, 5DMKII and 7D are my roommates) so I have access to use them as needed for now, I'll probably get myself the next 5D model offered.

As to lenses I've sold off my best 500mm f/4L IS & 300mm f/2.8L IS and the one I really wish I had held on too the rare 200mm f/1.8L!

Currently I have the 50mm f/1.8, 70-200mm f/2.8L, 100mm Macro f/2.8L, 85mm f1.8, 24-70mm f/2.8L, 135mm f/L2 at the moment.

A 70-300mm DO IS lens I'm selling this week on eBay, will put it up tomorrow evening.

The lenses are the most important part cameras will change but a great lens will last you a life time! I try to only buy the best, "L" glass is worth the money, the 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 are not "L" glass but should be classified as such they are super sharp and the best buys in Canon's line up IMHO right now.

That video is purely AWESOME! How did he get all those camera angles and the lighting. Like you say, it's like watching toys on a well lit set.
