    I am searching for (but am not able to find) a post describing a curious lens with a flexible/compressible barrel that provides unexpected focus aberrations. Does anyone remember the name of this lens? I may have found a use for the beast.

    You wouldn't be thinking of the Clairmont Squishy Lens would you?

    Also, I think there may be others?

    Swing and tilts also called shift and tilts can be rented and come with a PL mount to a rubber bellows and are similar to that lensbabies set up.

    Thanks Glen. It was right in front of me. So do you know if it is a PL to PL then?

    Many thanks to you all for the replies. Lensbaby was the creature I was remembering. How could I have forgotten a name like that? Thanks once again.
