About Lens Hackers

A Lens Hacker is a person that likes to take photographs with DIY optics. DIY optics can be any optical object that is altered from the original in a way that gives a different result than what was originally intended by the original lens. An example would be to use a magnifying glass as a lens for a camera or maybe chop a Leitz or a Nikkor lens in half to see what happens or make a lens out of a beer mug or mount a lens from one format onto a camera for another format. You could make yoour own lens. You could use multiple lenses, stacked lenses, prisms, viewfinder lenses. The real point is to experiment, have fun and most importantly - make great images.
