Lens hacking article: "Hand-Assembling Lenses for the View Camera"

Check out photographer John Siskin‘s article on building your own multi-element, soft-focus lenses out of diopters. The article originally ran in View Camera Magazine and has heaps of example photos. You can download a PDF reprint of the article directly from Siskin.

Thanks to Katie Cooke for the heads-up!
