FotodioX LenzCoaster Lens Replica Coaster Set (Black and Red)

This 5-element Lens marked Craftmaster 85 mm f 1.2L externally looks like the Canon 85 mm f 1.2L II USM right down to the red banding. It has 5 elements each made of black silicone rubber and having working surface diameters of 75, 80, 80, and 77 mm respectively. The elements stay connected together through internal magnets. The focusing ring is nicely rubber covered and is 15 mm wide, but manual focusing is rather rough. Although there is an aperture scale, there is no aperture ring. Since this lens does not have a bayonet mount it refuses to fit my 1D Mk IV. By affixing the lens with fresh Gorilla Tape I was able to test the lens. Even in direct sunlight I could not get a correctly exposed image. I suspect that's because each of the 5-elements is completely opaque. Also, autofocus didn't work at all (probably because there is no focus motor). Recommended for its intended use, but not for photography.

Fun gift to give to a photographer friend. Looks and feels like a lens but surprise it transforms into coasters. Magnet keeps them together well.
