Some Macro at McConnell Springs
Used an Olympus EPL-1 with an Industar 50-2 f3.5 lens and extension tubes. You can pick up these lenses cheap. Sellers in the Ukraine and Russia have a near unlimited supply of these lenses. The down side is shipping (appox $15) and nearly a month wait to receive your lens. Don't buy from a domestic seller because the chance of it being a reject is higher. Do get the lens hood, or fashion one yourself. The hood makes adjusting aperture much easier. I had to shim my hood to get a snug fit. You can get the lens in m42 thread, or m39. I have the M42 thread. Adaptors are cheap and plentiful.













not macro



This is the lens I mentioned up top.

2. Thanks. Macro allows one to construct a world of your own.
