I started to make this lens, dunno where I'm gonna go from here, maybe I'll make it so this is just to focus any lenses I make.

Why it's somewhat custom, right now all I'm doing is taking the body cap from my camera and cutting a hole in it so I can put a focusing element onto it from an old video camera.

Focusing Elements






Damn pain to make the hole without any of my drills..

No, I don't have any of my drills at the moment so I tried to use a hand drill but it cracked the body cap.

Yea, I'll have to get another body cap or two and try again when I actually have my drills. By then I might have some more old lenses to try and screw with, I know my gram has a box full of old camera, I hope some of them are SLR's with lenses.
