1. If you have one of these old plastic kit lenses around, something that you are not using for anything serious, you can give it a new life as a macro lens by removing the front element. Here I have an old Canon 38-76 mm lens. You may find these in eBay, second hand stores, etc.
WARNING: This will not work with most lenses. When in doubt, try first with a throw-away broken lens or something that you won't mind breaking. By attempting this you most likely void warranty (if any), you may accidentally break your lens, or you may not be able to put it back together again. Plan ahead, don't hurry.
2. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the plastic ring that is glued onto the front. Be careful not to tear or break it.
3. You'll find three tiny cross-head screws under the ring. They may be really tight. Cheap tools may not work here. Use a good, hardened, exact-fit screwdriver and keep it firmly in place, otherwise you may ruin the heads and then you can't remove the front element without breaking things. Try not to scratch the lens.
4. Pull the front element out. Now you have an odd-looking but fairly decent macro lens! Attach it normally to the camera (not in reverse; no adapters needed).
Keep the parts so you can put it back together later. You can the use lens cap and the front element together as a "lens cap" of the macro lens. A rubber band can keep things together.
The depth of field will be very shallow, so you may want to shoot with the smallest aperture you can. In bright sunlight this should be no problem. Otherwise you may want to use a tripod and a remote, or the camera's self-timer, and flash(es) etc. Without the front element the auto-focus will not work, so you'd better turn it off. Adjust the focus by moving the camera or the subject. You can fine-tune the focus by turning the zoom ring.
Using an extender increases the magnification.
You can see some macro sample shots taken with this lens here.
One of the very first brands of commercially available single-lens reflex cameras. Missed being the first one by mere months. It shot medium format (120) film in 6cm x 6cm square images. Cloth focal plane shutter, speeds from 1/25th to 1/500th (plus Bulb). Interchangeable lenses (I think 40mm screw-thread). Very happy to have found this. Mildly historical in backstory, solidly interesting in design.
Format 620 12 exposures
Lens:
f4.5, 7.5 cm Tessar. Iris diaphragm to f32.
Viewing lens: f3.1, 7.5 cm Heidoscop Anastigmat
This is the FED Micron (half-frame camera) in its full rame version, lol! You might be thinking that there is something wrong, either the Micron was a big camera for half-frame or this 35A is incredibly small. Well, both things, really! The camera is really small, but not record breaking. Probably the factory had a few leftover Micron bodies and recycled them as the FED 35 A. The nice thing is that it sports a rangefinder, has full auto exposure and partial manual exposure, partial because you have full access to the aperture settings, but only 5 speeds + B with the top speed being 1/60. Possibly these speeds were for flash sync purposes. The lens is the faithfull Industar in 38/2,8 guise. Aparently, about 25.000 cameras were made, which in the soviet multi million universe makes the FED 35 A look like a prototype!
One of the so called Queens of the 6x9 format, the Bessa line of camera was second to none. It closely followed Zeiss stratetgy with the Ikonta family, a model for every pocket. This one is the top of the range Bessa I equipped with the Color Skopar 105/3,5 just like the top of all Bessa cameras, the II. It lacks a rangefinder, but the viewfinder is curious because you can choose between 2 formats 6x9 or 6x4,5 and it has the refinement of correcting parallax for both formats. A bit pointless since the viewfinder is so small, but a Voigtlander is always original. The change of format is made by means of a mask, so you have to make the format choice before you insert the film.
There is a double exposure prevention system, with a neat little arrow that changes positionaccording to the film winding or not.
I am really curious about the quality of the Skopar, the Heliar on my Bessa II is really great. Contact sheets from the Bessa II are freighteneing sharp, the advantage of being 7 times bigger than 35 mm.
detach the lens from the body and shoot like crazy. fun on film!! especially when you're holding the extra heavy bronica s and pushing its shutter with the same hand. ha.
saw it first here. he did it too.
flickr is great for inspirational stuff. hooray!
next time i'll try it with a ltm lens :)

I got to play (albeit briefly) with a Pentax 645D last Saturday.
I used toown a Pentax AF645N ii just before the deegeetal revolution hits. This new offerings by Pentax feels right at home...
