Aussie designer Craig Arnold makes these “Re:vision” cuff bracelets out of parts from old camera lenses, perfect for the fashionable photographer. (Or pretenders to both, like myself.)
They’re AU $190 and up, which ain’t cheap, but they look well made. Or if you’re handy with a saw and grinder, you’ve got a fun new DIY idea.

The fourth one looks like a futuristic medical band for the psych ward. Wonderful idea, reminds me of the clever sort of things you’ll find on etsy.

Yes it is.
I’ve got this big collection of old Pentax lenses…. I’ll never use them. Is that blasphemy?
@ 6 Takuan
Yes, it is. It most certainly certainly -is-. It’s sacrilege. Both the disuse and the contemplation I can see in your twisty little headgears.

F’in brilliant…maybe scalping old M8′s would make these more affordable…?
As a camera junkie I have to say I love this. Not only is it a good reuse of old lenses but it looks cool. However, I am not sure about the cost. I mean I could put that money towards a nice new camera.
Yeah, these look lovely. But I suspect you could get them cheaper if you asked Etsy to make them for you. Which I may very well do, in fact.
Now thats what I am talking about Joel Love for the still lifers!
