Homemade lenses are a crafty way to “recycle” old lenses that would otherwise not fit your mount anymore or just use everyday optical objects like peepholes to create exciting new gear for your camera. These amazing photos were taken by members of the Homemade Lens group, where you can find more samples as well as handy tutorials if you want to build your own homemade lens.
