Here is a simple DIY hyper-macro tip: #allyouneed is a combo of two lenses and a steady hand. No matter what lenses they are, and no matter if one of them isn't suitable for your camera. #1 Mount the heaviest one on and #2 use it at an aperture that allows the shutter to be fast enough to avoid motion blurs. #3 Now take the other lens #4 set it at full aperture (or not if you like the "vignette" effect i got, but remember: darker view means slower shutter) #5 reverse it against the edge of the mounted lens and keep it in position (Try to match the edges. EG: 49mm inside a 52mm diameter. Whatever, just try to keep 'em alligned) #6. Now you can get really very f*** close to your subject and try to find the focus (play with the focus rings of your lenses: the closer you'll set both the focus points, the closer you'll be able to spy your subject) #depthoffield is very shallow as you can see, but it leads to a breathtaking #bokeh I hope everything's undestandable. Ask any question! All you see is just as it came from the scanner.
