Kickstarter: Lomography Neptune Convertible Lens

Lomography is introducing another insanely successful Kickstarter, the Neptune convertible art lens system. The basis for this lens is a common base attached to the camera, then a series of front elements that attach to the base on the camera. This gives the photographer a set of lenses that are much smaller in size, since half the lens is already attached to the camera.

At this point, the Kickstarter includes 4 lens options: 3.5/35mm, 2.8/50mm, 4.0/80mm and now a 3.8/15mm. There are two aperture options, a standard continuously adjustable aperture, and a series of aperture plates to add shapes to bokeh. The lens system supports full frame, so works with many film camera bodies. Compatible lens systems are Canon EF Mount, Nikon F Mount and Pentax K Mount. Check the Kickstarter page for more details.

Billed as a prime lens system with superb optical quality, the campaign offers a deep discount on the retail price. Less than two days remain on the Kickstarter offer, which is fully funded five times over.
