Barry,
Have you considered Diana or Holga cameras? Plastic lenses at their most
basic - totally uncorrected. Might be informative for your students. If
you're unfamiliar with the results take a look at my website - most of the
work there was done with Diana's - including the new iceberg images in
Gallery Six (as well as being gold-toned B&W photographs, BTW).
Good luck - have fun!!!
