Yo_,

Depending on what final results you really hope for, if you can get the magnifying glass closer to your camera's lens, detail and color will be greatly improved. Or use tubes of various lengths (from paper towels, PVC plumbing, something lightproof) between. Fun and good photos are not strangers. The first few I shot were weird (forgetting to line up the glass) because of the excitement of seeing the giant insect images in the viewfinder, unexpected from the simple setup. Now I can get photos that match and better the camera's Macro alone. Still exciting, more fun now because of a more stable attachment.
