>>191608 Only for holding uncured lenses by the rim. When theyre uncured, it's easy to damage the lens by simply touching the surface. You can print your fingerprints all over them. Lego's good enough for the task, and not a great loss if it gets all sticky : P
>>191609 I considered it, but no. I'm going all the way. Suck my dick.
>>191610 >are you looking at trying to reduce fringing etc? I'd like to, but seeing how I only have one type of plastic (at the moment) at my disposal, I might not be able to get an equivalent of a different type of glass. I'll try it though. Still though, I knew it would be fringing galore the moment I made this thick lens, so no surprises there. From the looks of it, I'll have to make it a triple element lens, so might be a chance to slip in a second type of plastic there.
>also.. how are you going to build all the parts like lens barrel, focus ring, viewfinder, etc ?? I'm studying industrial design, so I was taught how to use various materials for making prototypes, many of which are also used by figure sculptors and model artists. In other words, stuff like body filler, styrene and laminated plastic of different calibers. >i suspect it will only be a basic viewfinder (if at all) as opposed to a rangefinder or SLR.. I'm planning to make this an SLR, actually, but only with a waist-level viewfinder (or top-down viewed, since it's going to be a little small, being for 35mm).
It's going to be a major bitch.
