What did you 'plant' the lens with? From your results I would stick with gardening.

Are you just switching lenses on fixed focus cameras of the same model? If so, the swap should be trouble free when all components are replaced in the same position. Have you reversed any lens elements?

In the second photograph, the lens needs to be moved closer to the film plane to bring objects at infinity into focus - all other factors being correct. The first photograph is typical of results from lenses with optical elements that are not oriented correctly, or where the complete lens is positioned to close to the film - there is now plane of focus to be found anywhere.

However, judging by the light streaking on your images it looks like you have other problems also. Perhaps you should plant the cameras in the trash bin and pick up something that works.
