Poor Mans Macro Setup
The poor (and lazy) mans macro setup. This is a Panasonic FZ30 with 35-420mm Leica zoom and a Pentax Asahi 1.8/55 taped onto the front. The thread diameters are vastly different but the Pentax lens slips nicely inside the outer bevel of the much larger Leica lens giving a light-tight seal. The flash is hiding on the opposite side of the camera under some of that white cloth triggered by RF. The FZ30 has a tilt-out and rotating chimping screen so here it's tilted up and reversed so I can look at it without bending over the camera.
(Thanks to Kevin for making me go steal my wifes point-n-shoot to take this.)
Check the results.
