A Field by Homemade Lens — (1)
Well, the lens what I call “Homemade Lens” has first appeared here as
the “Lens from Toy Camera” and then having had additional front element,
it became to the “Two element Retro-focus Lens“.
In fact, the additional front element was a concave lens from my
broken specs. (Photo above: Left) Then, proper optical lens came from
HOYA Optics. And finally I properly mounted that optical lens onto
Canon EF Mount adapter, using 67 mm filter ring. —– But, to put
the main lens (from Toy camera), I mounted it 10 degree tilted forward,
since this lens has no focus adjustment, tilting the lens would give
a kind of Pan-focus effect. (Photo above: Right)
Still, the images were the good old Impressionistic fuzzy image
which I’m very fond of. 🙂
What I like the most of this lens was, it’s small size, good general wide angle,
no need to bother focusing, shows enough detail of the subject but
not too much, with good fuzziness —– and above all, it cost nothing !
It is really a lazy Sunday Painter’s best companion. = just click a camera,
it automatically produces the paintings in mass scale ! 😀
So, a knuck to have a life contented is = don’t ask too much. Be contented.
Ha ha ha 😀

Painterly indeed! The color is extraordinary.
Excellent! Beautiful images and creative exploration of photography. 😉
I have experimented with pin-hole boxes to compose shots and held small plastic lens and glass jars infront of the camera. Not very good at attaching modified lens to the camera. 😀
Thank you for your comment. — By the way, the best way to experiment a kind of Lens is
cut a hole on the SLR’s body cap and stick a Lens kind with Plastic pate or a builder’s glue,
“No need a nail” kind.
Thanks, here is the approach I came up with for my students , back before retirement. 🙂
