The glass is the most important part of the camera. I'd expect the same results no matter what you adapted it to, so I'm curious what the goal here was.
Maybe a reusable camera with disposable aesthetics, who knows
Probably because why not
Probably minimize the loss if they got robbed
The best answer was simply curiosity: 'How hard can it be?' and 'Why not?' I mounted a plastic disposable camera lens onto a Leica M body cap. Combined with a roll of film expired for probably five years, it felt like the perfect opportunity to experiment—a nod to this very old topic of the *foto povera* movement that I remember from my art school times and the use of a toy camera for an advertising campaign that I saw around 30 years ago.
