'Re:vision' cuffs made from old camera lenses

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.

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.

F'in brilliant...maybe scalping old M8's would make these more affordable...? ;-)

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.

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.

I've got this big collection of old Pentax lenses.... I'll never use them. Is that blasphemy?

Yes it is.

@ 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.
