New picture setup......

Found a lens that came from a rear projection TV. Coupled it with my Canon point and shoot to
see if I could get some close ups...These are the results and I'm pleased!

Wow, Bob! That is an original idea if I ever heard one. Nice going. Whenever I see old electronics being trashed I always wonder if there's some part that could be salvaged (like the platinum from a catalytic converter - or the gold in a PC tower's hard drive).

Never thought to snatch the lens from an old TV. That's really cool. I might just swing over to the Goodwill and see if they have any for sale ...

Here is the lens....It's 2.5" across the housing and a 2" wide lens. It's about an inch thick and I actually
think it's two lens separated in the housing. Focal point is about an inch above the coin.
thanks,

Simply amazing! First the Pringels can.....now this!

You guys remind me of that guy McGiver on the TV show that could make a rocket ship out of a rubber band and some paper clips!
