I presume that the lens actually shoots better images than those that are 
linked in the article as samples. The featured Dream Sequence actually looks 
like what the world would like after downing half a dozen large shots of 
cheap hooch in quick succession. It also struck me while seeing those 
snapshots that a filter with Vaseline would be a very viable, low cost 
alternative, which moreover, could be used with any lens. :-)

Cheers
