Why blow hundreds or thousands of dollars on damaging and replacing lenses? Photography doesn't generally pay well enough to afford that for very long.

- dagw 9y ago"I’d likely be able to replace just the front element, but I picked up this lens for a hundred bucks, so if I want to do a fisheye shot for a future launch, I’ll probably just buy another one." Basically any setup to protect the lens will end up costing about as much as the lens.

With a small price at the start you can probably 3D print an apparatus that contains stabilizers for both camera and mirror plus a mechanism to easily swap mirrors.
