Introducing a new lineup of Prism lenses compatible with 49mm filter threads, including RE adapters and the i-2! Bring creative optical effects into your photography by simply threading on a 49mm Retrograde Engineering Prism Lens. Available in four different patterns: Kaleidoscope, Linear, Vortex, and Double Split, each with a unique light bending effect. Simply thread on the Prism Lens onto your camera of choice with a 49mm filter thread, or by use of a step-up ring. In addition, you can pair the effect of Prism Lenses to cameras that do not have filter threads by using the Retrograde Engineering mini-499 adapter (for the mini-49 camera, Now-49 (for the Polaroid Now Gen 3), and more to come soon! Shooting with your Polaroid i-2 can be taken a step further by threading on these lenses, which are fully compatible without an adapter (the Votex Prism is not compatible due to interference with the i-2s focus system). To see more, click the link in my bio for my Etsy page! I hope you guys like these lenses, more to come soon! by @retrograde_engineer
