I'm interested in trying to make a lens as a fun project to tackle. I'd like to try and make a lens with a very wide aperture to see what kind of funky blur and odd looks I can get. Taking glass pieces from whatever I can come across, probably projector lenses and other magnifiers (even not darkroom related)
The one thing that leaves me wondering is what would I do for a shutter? I'm thinking that it would probably be best to use an existing shutter. Are there large sized shutters that I could use for this?
