Recesky DIY TLR + Bausch and Lomb 1891 lens

2

SO! I was hunting around the web for a cheap camera that i could play around with and generally perform experiments on… so what better than the £10 recency DIY TLR?
I can imagine with the ‘cheap’ nature of the camera body there’s going to be light leaks-a-plenty and blurs and what have you.. BUT the main reason for buying something cheap and acceptable collateral damage if something goes wrong is; I’ve had a Bausch and Lomb 1891 lens lying around for a while.. something i attained off my old photography technician at college… and I’ve always wanted to do something with it…
SO with a bit of help from a stanley knife, i married the two together…
Now all i need is a few rolls of film [most certainly] a few adaptations, and then i can test this beast out…

    so. round one. unsuccessful. feel like an idiot. realised the lens need to be about 6 inches away from the shutter built in to the camera -.-
