    What a trip! I have always loved the cars of the 50's and most of my 45's when I was a kid were from my parent's collection. I was born about four decades too late....

    Splendid lens! :D (One small word of warning, though. When you play the Chevy commercial, don't bang your left speaker on the table trying to get it to work like I just did with mine. Hahaha. It's not your speaker; it's the video. Right speaker gives you all the sound you really need. Left speaker will just emit a very soft scratching sound.) Thanks for transporting me back to a time I loved, Barb!

    Some of the clothing is still gorgeous--especially the straight skirts. Was born in '57, so any memories I have of the 50s is probably from a photograph. :)

    My older sisters and brother were brought up in the 50's, so i always loved the music. They say it was great , i wish it was like that for me, i was born in 63. Great lens

    I was born in '53 so I don't remember the 50's that well but I do like the music and Betty Davis! Wasn't this when Elvis started?

    I love everything that is old made new again. It was a time when everything seemed so much simpler. I guess it just felt that way

    Great trip back to the 50s. I've always thought that 1950 was a special year - middle of the century, nice even number, year I was born - oops - shouldn't have revealed that!

    You have a great lens! I love the era of the 1950s (the cars, clothes, hairstyles and especially the movies).I love the melodramas of 50s generation. Some of my favorite stars are Bette Davis, Kim Novak, Jane Wyman, Dorothy McGuire, This lens takes you on a trip back to 1950s. Great job!

    Very nice lens - well put together.
    Love the 8mm video of the 50's cars. My mom and dad had one that they would pull out from storage sometimes and take us for a drive in - we called it the green tank. Loved that old car.

    Things seemed so much simplier then. No cursing all over the TV, no gory graphic movies, maybe not simplier but certainly more innocent.
