Oh, that's way cool. Is that some kind of rail car?

Sorry Jim, not a rail car, a canal boat, the Belle Epoque-
a group of us hired it for a few hours-

Now I'm starting to wonder what would happen if I tried using one of those fresnel "page magnifier" sheets in place of a lens board and lens....

How about combining one of these with other lens shapes or designs? Time to experiment.

This is a cool thread.

Another fun place to pick up optics (but much higher priced) is a place like http://www.edmundoptics.com if one is wanting to build/design there own lens and needs higher quality glass.
