I'd love to see what yours looks like! Is it rangefinder coupled?
Nope, I'm not that skilled. Though I did toy with the idea of doing up CAD work and having a CNC shop make me a prototype (it wasn't the cost, but more the fact that my wife didn't want to use the lens on the M240). She much preferred using it on her little NEX camera (because the crop factor made it more similar to a 50mm lens). And I made the one for the NEX camera a few years before the M-mount one.. So she was more use to the crop by that point. She actually doesn't even use the LCAs anymore, since she's so use to it on a crop camera (she won't even use it on the Sony A7 cameras).
I had one broken LCA, that's the one I used to make the NEX one. And later I took one of the 3 working LCAs, the most beatup one. The one that has an M mount was a little more difficult, as it is somewhat recessed. And the one that has an E-mount, was much easier to make.
The E-mount my wife uses regularly, so it's on her NEX. The M mount I would have to find (think it's at my studio still, tested with strobes a long time ago).
Optics wise, it's not bad. Pretty sharp when you nail focus and theirs no stray light to cause flare.
BTW my wife took a look at your images, and said that you need to purposely miss focus a bit, it'll make your images more authentic
HAHAHA... Again I said I used body caps and FEMO. Trust me, mine's not that cool. But I love the idea that LOMO made this.. I just couldn't justify the price, since I rarely if ever use the ones I made.
Weird thing is.. Mine doesn't have that purple fringing you get from wide angle lenses.. Not on either of my systems.
