  Assuming the cameras are scrap, here's another idea:

  Use the two 35 mm lenses for that ortho Realist format viewer
you always wanted to build.  Use the 50's for that super Viewmaster
viewer. Use the 135's to focus the sun (in stereo) and start
fires :)

  Alternately 50 mm lenses make good 5 power loupes for checking
you negs or tranparencys. And presumable a 35mm would make a decent
7 power loupe.

Let the bidding frenzy begin :)
