A tilt lens can be used for all sorts of cool effects, such as selective blur or, like in these examples, a "miniature"effect.
The most popular accessory of the moment for achieving this is a "Lensbaby", but those run around $250.00! Instead of laying down that kind of cash, I found this Tilt adapter on Amazon for $50.00. I attach a Nikon lens to one end and my Panasonic Lumix G5 to the other. It can tilt from 0 to 8 degrees. At 0 degrees it can be used to convert a Nikon lens to fit a Micro 4/3 camera body. Then when tilted it can be used for these awesome effects! It's solidly constructed and it works great!
