heres a close up of the shutter speed dial. as im taking the picture with my left hand you can see how the camera is supported in my right even with the thumb free to move the wheel.

new lens. as part of an effort to highlight the physical control interface as the most important part of my design i have stripped off the canon logo and replaced the lens with a rapid prototyped pancake. still waiting for the knobs and dials to arrive so these are carved fron a pencil rubber and painted.

if anyone is still interested in my attempts to make a wide angle lens i finally cracked it. it is a standard 50mm lens with a really strong fisheye element held about 40mm infront and a much flatter element at the rear.

this is a selection of my prototypes stuck to the wall for my degree show
