this was part of my magnifying glass experiment with the pentax. it was just a dollar store glass and it turned out to be very useful. i read about taping them to the lens and stuff but i just use the handle and hold it infront and it seems to work fine. it's a little bit of a chore to focus and make adjustments but i rather do that than to have it stuck to my lens for good. plus i can then use the glass with whatever camera i have on me.
as you can see from the new symbol, i'm listed on blogscanada now and encourage people to check it out.
