Well, I've been wanting to make one like Qhotex is for a while and today I just made one that's ok but it's not nearly as powerful..

Don't mind the noise on the photos, that's from me forgetting to take the 3200 ISO off, haha..

A little test, this is about as much of a macro as I can. It's a bit blurred because it's hard to hold it still without a tripod.

This is the best my 18-75mm lens can do. The trademark symbol is about 3 or 4mm in diameter.

The lens, I made it so it can just screw into my UV filter.

How is it working? (It looks a lot more professional than mine xD)

Haha.. Thats because I used about 4 or 5 different lenses and glued a 55mm hood over the one and I can screw most of them together.

It was working great, until for some reason the first group of elements fogged up and I don't think it's cleared yet.
