Description
So many people are interested in macro photography and don't realise that you don't need an expensive lens to at least try it out.I had an old spare lens that suffered from fungus growing in it so decided to take it apart and make a new macro filter, and make a short how-to doing it.
virtually 99% my macro work was done using this method and can be seen in my macro gallery

Not sure I'd have the guts to do this to any lens, but it's certainly a cool idea.

Cool! I use a similar technique just without removing the lens
but tell me, What is the distance between you and the object?

i dont have any online yet using the filter i made in this how-to, but i have some using one i made from a previous filter i made with the same method, but just using a different lens element. most of the macro shots in my gallery were taken this way, apart from the most recent ones which used extension tubes.
this one is using the diy filter [link]
