ever wonder why camera lenses are so dam expensive? most people would say its the glass and how the material is a rarity, no, check out some of these older lenses that have been sawed in half. the intricacy of an old lenz iz absolutely mind blowing, i can only imagine what a digital SLR lense would look like cut in half.

this onez a lenz from Leitz, made for Leica rangefinder cameraz:
