There are some weird and wonderful things on the internet and the latest thing to join this list is the MC HELIOS-44M-4 58mm 1:2 lens which has been combined with the original Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D lens so you get swirly bokeh and a HELIOS lens with autofocus.

Lovely pictures from it and the guy who combined it.
Bravo.
