Bokeh Masters Kit is Tackier Than the 1980s

The “Bokehtinator” works by shaping the aperture through which the light enters the lens. Bokeh can be “tuned” by lens makers by altering the shape of the aperture blades inside the lens. The Bokehtinator does the same thing, only it does it while secured to the outside of the lens by a rubber band. The perforated plastic plates slip into this holder and add all manner of naff shapes to your pictures.
