I finally got a chance to play around with this a bit last night. I was fairly happy with the results. I was just using my 55-250mm lens, and my 18-55mm lens... with the shorter lens at its longest focal length, I got some pretty nice shots of the end of a ball point pen for the macro assignment in my photography course.
I was not happy with the results at higher magnifications though. There was way too much chromatic aberration and the colors just didn't look right, there was also a lot more distortion to the image than I would prefer.
Very interesting results, but not really practical for much. I guess it'll work for that occasional extreme closeup that I can work on indoors when I dont really need to hook the camera up to a microscope.
