It's common use to adjust the zoom before taking a picture, however there is particular technique that requires the photographer to operate it while executing the shot. At first select mode Shutter-priority and then set time around 1 second or longer. The camera has to be set still so use a tripod or any solid surface that can give you a clear view of the picture; press the button with one hand while with the other action the zoom. You'll get an interesting vortex effect .

Holga 60mm f8 for DSLR Cameras

A new toy! First contact with the Holga 60mm f 8 lens, mounted on my Sony Alpha 350. The lens, completely made of plastic, seems very solid, the engagement with the camera works fine. It is used in manual (M) and the focus is Holga style.
