Convert it into the worlds smallest diving pool for ants! ...err, oh, no... not what you meant! ... If it was awesome as a macro, stick with it :-)

I hear ya.. that said, I just had to do some snaps of some cards I'm writing a post about and, for a change, went with my old camera and my first lens (fifty)

So, what did you have in mind? Change its focal length? Or something like this?

i have no idea. i am into alternative (for lack of a better word) forms of photography like solargraphy and i just got an old kodak camera to try through the viewfinder photography.
Do you think there is a way to hook this up to a holga?

Could try taping it to a camera phone too? Even better...paint a red ring round it then tape it to a camera phone
