I went into my basement and I found this extremely old Raydawn Deluxe Super Wide Macro 0.42x AF Lens made in japan and I decided to be dumb and try using it with my 300D (aka rebel)

So, rather than using my best lens (i know its not the best) which is the 28-105, i took my kit lens, took off the polarizer and haze filter cuz i have no idea of what i am doing... I went outside to take a few pictures with this ghetto setup

Canon 300D
15-55mm kit lens
"handheld" this super old lens

Take a look at the picture and let me know what you think and what should i improve on?

I don't get it.. you can use 2 lens at the same time? It looks like one of those macro/fisheye filters to me..

Umm, so you're holding up one lens in front of another? Err, that's not really the way it's supposed to be used...

It doesn't matter..what the rules are..he's experimenting and that is what photography is about..

I like the experiments and the fish eye look. How about you try that with some tall buildings to see what kind of effect you get...or animal faces...etc..
great experiements thus far:!:
