Would it be easier to check out a place like www.surplushed.com where they
have the stuff already mounted in barrels predetermined to focal length for
like US$5-15 ?
That said, how about using an LF lens + shutter? Some go for as little as
US$30-50.
Recently, I sold a Ilex Paragon lens on ebay for like US$25 .. and that has
an aperture diaphram.

>Hi all, I am in the process of designing and building a box camera (my
first homemade camera). I was thinking about reusing an old lens, but have
decided to buy the lens new at Edmund Scientific. They sell two different
kind of lenses, double-convex (DCX) and plano-convex (PCX), and I am not
sure which one would be best. They both seem to be able to do the job. Most
of my existing box cameras use the DCX kind, but I have one that uses PCX.
Can anyone please explain to me the differences, or point me in the
direction of some information (preferably free) to help me learn and decide.
