DIY Lenses

I have spent the past couple weeks building my own camera lens and body for my final project in my two studio classes. I've spent time learning about optics and bought a couple lenses from http://www.surplusshed.com
 The end product will most likely be a film. I'm still not quite sure what about.
Here's a few pictures of the lens and a couple test shots. Things look pretty cool!
I'm going to make a compound lens next to get a wider field of view.

I started off with a bellows I found on Ebay for $10
Then I cut the bellows off the rails and got a ball and socket to allow for tilt and swing capabilities with my lens. 





 I love the color fringing and selective focus and the washed out colors of the lens!
