How do I attach a SLR lens (35mm) to a point and shoot?
Well, generally you don’t. However, if you want to hack an SLR lens on a point and shoot body, I’d go with a pretty simple camera. I’m thinking the Dollar store variety. Complex point and shoots will not take kindly to the removal of the lens. Your big problem will be getting the flange distance (distance between the last lens element and the film plane) correct. It will be different from the lens you take out of the cheap camera probably longer. You can do this by setting the infinity distance. Set your SLR lens to infinity and mount to the camera. Put frosted cellophane tape across the film plane. You will see an image on the tape (shutter has to be open [on bulb or simply removed]). Adjust the lens position until you see a sharp image (use a magnifier). Once you have that set, the focus may actually work…kind of. If you are using an old SLR lens, you might be able to use the aperture. If not, you will have to shoot wide open or rigg a lever to actuate the diaphram. Anyway, sounds
