This was the first camera DIY project I did. Originally, this was a large, "DeJUR 85-210mm Macro" lens someone gave to me. The insides were rusted (from cat pee of all things) and one or more elements had fungus on them to the point you couldn't see through it. I took it apart and only the front element and helical focusing mechanism were still good. I JB Welded a reverse ring mount to it and attached a 12mm extension tube to it. Now it gets focus infinity to about 6-7 feet. Example pics in image.
