[Help]DIY Camera, LF cheap Shutter lens

Hi everyone, Vote Turnip/Firepole regardless of so called "At work injury" :P anyway!

I'v been trying to think of ideas to whip up a cheap jury rigged Camera while staying in budget.

 

I have to stay within a budget range of 125$ but I'v already spent 25 on the Raspberry Pi board, so now
I'm trying to think of items that have a good camera with a shutter lens that I could buy for 100$.

 

Examples I thought of already where Webcams or a broken Iphone 5, but I think the Iphone 5's camera doesn't have a shutter
and nor do webcams, and there's no way I could access the source code for the Iphone's camera.

 

I'm trying to find a cheap shutter lens that I can rip out of a device to create a camera from a Raspberry pi camera kit

 

If you have any ideas please let me know and thank you!

 

Requirements: Within 100$ range

                      : Can be stripped from another device for parts

                      : Open source

                      : Shutter Lens

Have you thought about the camera that is built for the raspberry pi that hooks into one of it's on board ribbon cable connectors or I/O board?
