A lot of people seem to enjoy dismissing these Lomo art lenses but I applaud them for having the idea in the first place and putting it into practice.
This is the latest kickstarter campaign, already funded, for a new old-style lens, as they have done for the Petzvals already, and the Jupiter J3+.
I've backed it as I find I'm more interested in flawed, character lenses than I am the flawless marvels that are modern lenses. This one looks a bit odd, but it could be amusing.
You're perfectly entitled not to buy the lens, or not like the images they produce, of course.
It would be interesting if others followed a similar path with an art lens line, eg Leica producing new versions of old lenses - Summars, Hektors, Thambars etc, or at least permitting the likes of Lomo to produce lenses to these old designs.
