Got it a few days ago. The tejas lens seems very usable. I like it better than the chunky.

Dumb question: How do you find the free paks that are added? Hipstamatic has been such a mystery to me, I can't even use it half the time!

Thanks for the note, can't wait to try the new lenses!

@jesase Click your hipstamatic icon, if you get to the camera screen there should be a little arrow on the bottom right corner. Tap that arrow, and you'll be taken to a screen that looks like the front of the camera. There should be a little shopping cart icon on the bottom, and if you hit that you should come to what is available. You can slide each different featured pack with your finger. I'm assuming you are using this on an iPhone. When you tap the pack it will take you to another screen where you can hit a buy button at the top right.

When you can see the camera pointing at you there are five small icons at the bottom of the screen where you can change the film, flash, lens and camera case. The little curvy arrow flips you back to the screen with the viewfinder so you can take pictures.

@jesase While in the app (on the lens facing side) go to the shopping cart and in the Featured Camera Gear scroll through the available paks. Ones you own already will say "Mine" so you can tell which ones you don't have. For better or for worse, Hipstamatic has been doing several limited edition releases so I would recommend keeping an eye on their website or on their page on Facebook to see when new Paks are being released. I know they have retired some, like the Dali Pak, that people would really like to get their hands on so I would recommend checking periodically.

And you are right @pepitaliang I have found the Tejas to be much more useful so far than Chunky. Chunky has a very distinct effect that does not work for everything. I like Tejas warm retro glow. =D

@lislee75 @autumnseden - Thank you!

@autumnseden ah yes....I am a 'liker' of the FB page so I'll keep checking. I've seen the Dali pak used on a number of photos and I want it BAD! Wonder if they will re-release it?

@looseimages From everything I have heard, they don't plan to re-release but you never know... They could surprise us! I am hopeful others will be able to get that pak sometime. The Dali lens is fun and I LOVE the DreamCanvas film. Easily in my top 3 most used films.
