The originator of this idea, Agus Casse out of Guatemala, designed his with parts lying around his house. His design cost him less than $30, given that he already had the more expensive parts lying around, and items like a macro zoom for his TRV-18 aren't too costly.
I'm in the middle of building my own for a GL1, which realistically will end up costing me about $380: $120 for a used f/1.4 Nikon 50mm lens; $210 for a +7 macro from Century Optics; and $50 for assorted materials from Radio Shack and Home Depot.
I'm calling mine the Agus35 Pro - still a far cry from $8,000!
