Hi Folks, Thanks for all who responded.
I think I'll look into the PVC pipes as a cheap alternative to the focus mount. I like the idea of using old slr lenses but I need 3-5 identical mounts... Here's why: In the last few months I 'designed' a new camera that uses 3-5 lenses on one piece of film that will shoot multiple points of perspective. The body of the camera will be made out of strips of plastic (plexi?) that will make the whole thing flexible. On to this body, I'll mount 3-5 Holga lenses (and some shutter/focusing mechanism). So when the body of this camera is 'flexed', the lenses will either point outwards in different direction, creating panoramic shot or point inwards to shoot the same subject but in different perspective. The lenses will be placed close enough to overlap and create one continuous image... My main worry when I was thinking about this project was to find 3-5 identical lenses. I wanted to shoot 120, so I can just contact print the images, but means $$$ for medium format lenses. I looked towards using the Holgas, not only being cheap but for the dreamy images that I think will go well with the project. I found a source of Holga lenses <http://www.holgamods.com/>, so I was looking for sources for focus mounts. Anyway, this will be one of my photo projects for this year.
