DIY Tokina 12-24mm F4 free lensing mod

So, yup.

I did something like this:

Tokina 12-24mm stripped from "extra" stuff.

Left with no electronics, but working manual focus and zoom.

It can do quite well in terms of picture quality.

So pictures about the project, not very comprehensive but gives some sort of look how it was made and what it looks likea "after":

Hope the facebook pictures and all show's, it should be readable by everyone.

And example pictures taken with this:

Taken at park

Miscellaneous pictures with this lens

So all the blurriness is a efect of this lens and it's mod.

What I could do better or something else?

At least getting a lot more flexible rubber thing, but in other hand this what I now used is really strong and firm so there is no fear of it breaking up yet.
