The Magnifier Macro Lens

Make your own macro lens out of a magnifier instead of paying hundreds of dollars/euros for a real one. And play around with the very short depth of focus.

Step 1 Step 1

You need a piece of (preferable black) paper, scissors, duct tape and a magnifier.

so cool!!! I love taking nature pix, but no budget for new lens. i think we have the same camera, too, so this is perfect.

Thanks! I had a Canon EOS 1000D when I used this camera, I've got a 550D now. But you should try this out, it's really easy!
