This isn't a question, just the passing-along of something I stumbled across yea rs ago. While playing around setting up some "table-top" photography, I taped a common magnifying glass to the front of the lens. I was surprised to find th at it shortened the distance I was able to focus from around 16 inches down to a bout 2 inches in front of the lens. I know that the magnifying glass was far f rom "fine optics", but the images were surprisingly clear. Of course there wou ld be many variables involved depending on the hardware used, but it doesn't cos t much to experiment. If anyone else has tried this, or does try it, I would b e interested in hearing about the results. Best regards to all...-Dave
