Large Format Camera creative Lens

What?
This is a creative photographic lens for large
format photography. It has an approx focal
length of around 150mm, with a maximum
aperture of f/5.6 to f/16 approx and simple
mechanical shutter that has NO timing
mechanism, the optical lens is designed to be cemented together

Why?
This was a project to see if it is possible to
make a photographic lens, using only a 3D
printer and the few tools I had at my
disposal. This is the first iteration which will
be the bedrock for developing further
processes to refine this lens. so that it will make it easier for anyone to get into large format photography.

Who?
For creatives of all skills. The more time
and effort you put into refining your lens,
the overall better experience of using the
lens will be. This lens requires a lot of clean
up and hand refining to put together.
