Through a Magnifying Glass

Mefistofeles,

That's a good comparison; not just an image, but showing clearly you have a magnifying glass and have shot through it. It's different and looks good that way, too.

Hey Jiminy,
where were all of these creative people durring the Flakey Challenge? Which, I believe you won (hands down), by the way. At least I have some great ideas for "bug macros" this summer.

[QUOTE=jiminyClickit;45140]Tried this in the '80's with a Polaroid. If you have a smaller lensed camera, a loupe (variously used by jewelers, textile workers, graphic artists) sets conveniently on the closed flash, draping forward to lens. The results are remarkable for a $10 accessory:

Along with the magnifying glass experiment, that, too is a great idea!

Indeed!!! i thought of the same thing. It even gives you more DOP that some high end lenses, and forget about vignetting!!..

I have often wondered if this would work! Cool to know that it does, now since I don't actually own a magnifying glass do you know where you would buy such a thing?
