Another easy camera to modify is any of the old kodak or similar 120 folding cameras that have basic shutters. The lens is generally a single element and easily knocked out and replaced with a zoneplate - and you have a negative up to 6x9.
A body that I am working with is a very large old kodak box camera (film size 122) - It has instant and time settings with three aperture scales. The lens is easily removed, and different things can be placed on the aperture selector (one will be pinhole, one zoneplate, and one slit). The dimensions allowed me to graft a polaroid 600 series back onto the camera. Accordingly, it would be pretty easy to mount a zoneplate on an ancient box camera that takes 120 film - just make sure it has the instant and bulb settings. And most antique stores are full of old 120 box cameras for about $5. Endless possibilities....
