Solida I / Canon 40D mashup
Today I figured I could construct some kind of 'lensbaby' by ripping apart an old Franka Solida I camera (made in 1931)
The shutter was broken. I had to take it apart to open the shutter blades. As you can see I have not really paid attention to the markings and dials when putting everything back together.
I glued the bellow to a leftover M42 macro ring. Using my trusty M42 to EF adapter I can attach this monster to my Canon camera.
Some recent shots:

Pictures have very low contrast and the colours are nothing short of bland. After post processing the result is somewhat decent though.
