Some day ago, waiting for an adapter for my newly acquired Olympus E-P1, I dismantled a disposable camera and put the lens on it. The lens has two aprtures (not yet calculated), and possibly 30mm focal length. Quality is not here, however I spent some time playing  . With the quick cardboard-based mount, no infinity.

Nice, just in my style. I've done this too. A real 'toy' lens for almost nothing, and probably better than a Holga.
WARNING anyone else tempted to do this! You can get a very nasty shock from the flash.
When it happened to me I was nowhere near it, but there was a live cable near the shutter!
be careful. The same applies to all compacts with built in flash not just disposables.
oh, BTW you get infinity with a NEX
EDIT: classy mount, but i'm sure I wouldnt be so low tech putting one on my NEX

You just saved yourself about 60 Euros. That's how much Olympus charges for a similar lens fixed to a body cup

Thank you all.
Phil: yes, there is risk with the flash condenser. However, all electronics went away together when I opened the donor camera and I simply put it far from me. And yes, low tech mount just to test it. I measured registration distance ( around 24-25mm), so I know I'm able to obtain infinity, but I yet have to rebuild with care a better mount.
Fermy, in fact I was inspired by the Olympus cap lens in doing what I did. While looking around for some wide angle lens disposable camera (I know there are a couple of them, but rare -not willing to spend real money on these plastic lenses), a Kodak Advantix F350 in on the road to me with a 24mm/6.4, for supposedly better results if the lens can be easily taken apart
