It all started when I wondered how I could use my Medium Format Camera lenses(If you have no idea what the hell this is.. It's just a bigger lens than the normal one's. I mean fatter :P)
Things I used:
1.) Generic Nikon Body Cap
- Machined off the middle part
- Cut 1cm off the outer seal
- Body Caps from other brand bodies will also do
2.) Ring Filter Adapter (I think I used a 62mm to 67mm filter step-up ring.
3.) Old Black Socks (Clean. And the Pair is missing. PERFECT!)
4.) Zip-Ties
5.) Hair ponytail band
If you want to imitate the way I made it. With my build the body cap and the filter adapter should interlock creating a tight grip with the camera body. Then I placed the sock over the filter adapter. And to lock the socks in place I used the Zip-Ties. To lock the lens in place I used the small but tight band.
When complete It might cost around PHP500.00 (around US$10.00) or more depending on the brand of socks.
Check the sample pictures below to get an idea on the effect of the bellows.
What the bellow-adapter looks like
So what the hell is it do I want to achieve?? Look below.

I have two additional lenses that I am now able to use as a tilt-shift lens on any Nikon camera body, Film or Digital, Crop body or Full-frame. Well worth the effort and cost I think. :P
