The better quality of lens you can find, the better your results will be. Telescope lenses tend to be fairly well made, so I have found that they work pretty well, although they also tend to get a black fretted circle around your image unless you get it positioned just so. Another idea is to see if you can find some old camera lenses at a retail shop. Since no one uses film based SLR cameras anymore, you can find high quality lenses for less than $10, or maybe even a few dollars. Try placing the lens both forward and backward in front of your camera's lens.
