Instamatic Macro
Well, as I suggested in the previous post that 25 mm lens of 110 Instamatic camera is suited for macro use = So, I made a lens.
No doubt, this must be the most funny looking lens among my homemade lenses, since the material I used was a water bottle for bicycle. (No problem, it only costed me £1) The lens was fixed on the cap in the reversed direction, and with its about 17 cm extension, its makes about x6 magnification of the image.
Photo left was a dead mosquito I found in the kitchen. I’m not happy with its bit blurry image (available light with 1/3 sec exposure —– at moment I’m not using my Sony with flash light = no synchro-socket, nor adapter) —– anyhow, I need to go out to see something small insects or a kind. (Photography is a kind of life live on the leg. = You can’t do it while sitting.) 😀
