DIY Cameraphone Microphone lens; My Endeavors with macro photography
My endeavors with macro photography involve cheap either compact camera or phone. Took apart a microscope to turn one of the lenses into a microphone lens. It can magnify stuff by about 5x. Images coming soon. I took apart the eyepiece, then shortened the barrel to remove all of the messy vignetting. I then attached one part of the lens to front of the camera. I can also attach the other part, which is also shortened, to increase magnification, all without distortions of any kind. My first images with this lens was of club moss. I will also take a picture of the setup. I intend to get into snowflake photography so this will probably not work. I would instead get a compact camera such as Casio EX10 with a Raynox 500...or get a microscope with a compact camera. The Casio is a really neat camera because of it's tiltable touch display. This is one of the most closest focusing cameras, with a close focusing distance of 1cm. Alternatively, what you could do is use a lens such as an old lens from Zenit and reverse it, then take a photo zoomed all of the way in with a compact camera. That's just a cheap ways to do these kinds of things. I also bought a special lens for my phone which was a microscopic 15x lens although it's really difficult to work with, difficult to hold because of how small it is, and difficult to remove. I have since lost it though I will post pictures of snowflakes that I took with this setup once I figure out how to connect my Android to my PC. https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_referrer=watch&video_id=biFMzaEA5VA
