There is a project @ Flickr. A Norwegian guy sends around a home-made lens (really crappy one, plastic fCool. I've joined in and have the lens at the moment. In some days I will send on the lens (possible in a letter) to the USA.

That's the "Travelling Crappy Lens":


It takes photos like these:



This lens fits to EOS cams. Does anybody want to join?

It seems to be the lens from a Holga 120N medium format camera.

It seems to produce about the same quality images as most Canon lenses.

I guess maybe I could be a bit dense. Don't most people want to get rid of the "kit" lens? I realize this one is probably better but still ? Maybe I'm a bit dense Wink
