Homemade Tilt Shift & Lens Baby .... Same Thing?

[ddbowdoin]

Is this homemade tilt shift lens () the same thing as lensbaby products?

Lensbaby - Lensbaby SLR Lenses

Has anyone tried the homemade path? Thanks all!

Selective blur with photoshop gets you similar effect.

"billows"...amusing....this is not quite the same as the Lensbaby original...the Lensbaby original does not tend to give the miniature effect the way that a better-corrected lens does when it is tilted on a "billows" (lolz).
