What are you talking about? No camera can capture an image without a lens. Of course the camera will work with the kit lens, that's why they sell it that way.

1. I don't know how you can achieve tilt shift without a) a specialist lens or b) software. The selective focus part of tilt shift can be replicated with a cheap Lensbaby but not the perspective control.

2. I don't know where these so called experts get their info from but you CAN take a photo without a lens attached. To do this you'd need to create a pinhole using a spare body cap like this:

3. The final option if you want selective focus and are feeling particularily creative then you could try to make one (although your 18-55mm won't work). Have a look at this guide here:

Just shoot the pic, then do the T&S corrections in Photoshop or similar.

No camera other than a pinhole camera can take a picture with the lens detached from the camera.

A tilt/shift lens like, say, the PC-E Nikkor 45mm is a very specialized and expensive lens used primarily for architectural photography. Its also been used to create some unusual effects in other areas of photography. If you'd like to achieve a similar effect for a lot less money I suggest looking at the Lens Baby line.http://www.lensbaby.com/lenses.php

PC-E Nikkor 45mm $1, 799.00

Lens Baby:

Muse, $99.95
Composer, $239.95
Control Freak, $349.85

Apparently Veato didn't read what I wrote… "No camera other than a pinhole camera can take a picture with the lens detached… ". Guess this old expert was right after all.
