Make it Yourself Film Cameras

Got a 3D printer? Well, the time to make your own film camera may finally be about to happen. Started as a project to build a film body that would accept his Sony E-mount lenses, the LEX is a dirt-simple film body that is apparently going to be open sourced. 

By all means go take a look at Alexander Gee's The Development Process page if you're interested in what an enterprising person can accomplish with a clear goal. At this point, the camera is a prototype.

I love this kind of experimentation.
