I met Craig, the inventor, at PMA in Orlando and bought one from him.  Lots
of fun!  He was inspired by the cheap Diane (sp?) cameras.  They also come
with rubber inserts to change the aperture.

Anyone heard of lensbabies before?  They sound fun,
but way overpriced at $96.  (lensbabies.com)

Just saw them in PhotoTradeNews -- they are described as
"an intuitive tilt-shift lens -- kind of like a mini-bellows"
that mounts on an SLR body.  Mounts include OM.
It looks like a cheap lens ("right around 65mm") on the front
of a plastic accordion bellows -- you focus by flexing the
front lens with your finger (range of "about 12 in." to
"infinity and beyond"!).  Waterhouse-style aperture inserts.

Sounds like something one of our pin-hole folks might
put their hands to!
