Question on lens balls

For those of you who use lens balls, what size do you have. It looks like something that would be fun to try

If you mean something like a crystal ball to shoot a scene through, I use one that is about 6" in diameter.

They are fun, but they are also heavy to lug around. I keep mine in a thick, leathery bag.
Be careful using in direct light, as they are capable of starting a fire as well as burning your fingers.

Does anyone have a photo of a "Lens Ball", I have never heard of this device that is used by some in their Photography.

I googled it to see, I'd never heard of it until recently

I reckon Len would be tickled pink too. Be gentle.

Well, this is something new and interesting to try. It looks like you would need a third hand to pull it off (or a partner/assistant). Curious as to how others use this and what size is best, too.

Search “crystal ball” here on UHH and several examples of members’ pics through one have been posted.

Hopefully he is not a giggler.

I have 2 different sizes. Love to shoot different images with them. Order the holder with it, means you can shoot without worry it will roll off the surface.

Everyone I know tells me mine must be large.
