I have been looking at a lot of Tilt Shift Pictures and Videos lately and it looks sick.

did you buy it or make one? like a DIY.

if you have one post up some pictures or videos with it.

One of my friends has one, their not very cheap to say the least.
and these lens's aren't used just to create a "miniature" effect.

check out on youtube, DigitalRev - Tilt Shift, they explain what their intended use it.

neat lens's, but if you want the miniature effect or whatever, you can postprocess that effect.

I use this:

The lenses available for digital SLRs don't have enough movements to really be worth it if you're actually using them.

Can you really though? I guess I haven't really looked into it, but from what I have seen all the post processes do is put a little band in focus and blur the rest of the image. With an actual tilt/shift setup you can put the focal plane at whatever angle you want, as well as control depth of field and perspective. All the photos and videos I've seen done in post look super tacky.

Tutorial is pretty easy if that's the effect you want.

I know people have made lenses capable of this by combining the end of a plunger and a lens for a larger format than whatever you have. The used 6x6 lenses for crop sensor digis. But if you're just after the miniature effect than go for the post processing option.
