My son sent me this Kickstarter link and I thought it was worth sharing. I'm not sure if this is the first time, but I think interesting that someone would replicate one of the first photographic optical lenses from 1839 to be fit and used with modern cameras.
Have no idea what this will cost. Curious if anyone would put this in their bag? Maybe not so much for nature photography I would guess.

Interesting, Lon. Looks like it might have some applicability to floral photography. Their website (way, way down) says-if I interpreted it correctly, a $450 pledge gets you the lens or it will be $499 for retail sale, though they want an extra $100 for the black version.
