I've seen the do-it-yourself (DIY) LensBaby-clone idea, using a rubber plumbing fitting as a lens body. But this is better!
One thing -- rather than taking a mount from a junk lens, use a modular macro tube set. For my Pentax K-mount camera, I bought several sets of CHEAP macro tubes. Each set contains screw-together sections: the macro extensions, and male and female (lens and camera body) mounts. Those mount sections could be attached to the bag, at least on the camera side. On the other side could be an enlarger lens, or a lens from an old folding or box 6x6 or 6x9 MF camera.
I have an old Zeiss Tessar 80/2.8 from a wrecked Ikonta, with an M39 thread. The macro sections have a 60mm thread. The male macro mount could be held to the bag with a #1 (6mm thick) macro ring or with some other 60mm ring. I would structure this as:
. lens -- bag body -- 39mm ring -- bag interior -- 60mm ring -- bag body -- macro mount ring
All of that snaps right into the camera, and except for the holes in the bag it's totally non-destructive. I guess I'll have to find an extra bag tomorrow and try this! _________________ Too many film+digi cams+lenses, oh my -- Pentax K20D, K-1000, M42s, more
