Step 3Focusing & using

focusing & using

to focus on the subject you'll have to gently move the camera back and forth until you find that sweet-point where the picture is crisp and sharp! (this why we prefer manual-focus , so the camera will not change the focus once you already focused!)
this is the tricky part , but with some practice you will master the technique and will get amazing images easily!

this is it! I hope you enjoyed this Instructable and found it useful!

I, too, did something similar about 30 years ago. Suspect it was the hard way but made an extension tube of black paper and bolted the camera and tele lens to a workbench. Put the smoky topaz ring on the body of a large gear puller for focusing. Got very nice pictures of the open cuelet (the back point of the cut stone) that the jewelers had broken. Took three or four hours to set up and needed a release cable. Back then SLR was the latest.

I did this about 30 years ago with a regular magnifying glass and my little rangefinder 35mm. One refinement is to make a coathanger wire rectangular frame with a handle sticking out of the bottom 90° to the frame. This frame which indicates the in-focus plane attached to the tripod socket on the camera with a 1/4" screw, and allowed me to take pictures from any angle without needing to see through the camera viewfinder. It is important to make the frame just a little larger than the image the camera captures unless you want to have in every image you take.
