[Cameramakers] Lens making and source for eyeglass blanks
Ive read the VC article (thanks to John Yeo) regarding lens building as well as the few sites I could find on the web. Ive also found several optical surplus shops (http://www.aaaim.com/CandH/index.htm, http://www.edsci.com/, http://www.surplusshack.com/, http://www.apogeeinc.com/sitemap.html, etc) but their inventory is hit-and-miss. Does anyone know where I can purchase eyeglass blanks? They should be cheap and run commonly run from +6 to -6 diopters. These should serve as well as the close-up filters mentioned in the article. Thanks in advance, Bruce.
Re: [Cameramakers] 16mm still camera
Thanks for the correction. It has been a long time since I saw one and I just mixed up the names of the makers. Sorry. If my memory is correct on one other point, I believe the Kiev 16 is very similar to the Minolta 16, enough so that I could put a Kiev cassette into a Minolta with a slight modification.

Kiev 30 or Kiev-Vega models might be what you had in mind. Those came from Arsenal factory in Kiev -- not any more. LOMO factory is mostly known abroad for the LOMO-Compact Minox clone associated with the lomography. It takes 35mm film (135).
