I just realized that I have a lens-reversing adapter. I just mounted a
Pentax 50mm f2.0 lens on my camera backwards, and it gave fairly
impressive results. When shooting coins, a US quarter will almost
totally span the narrow dimension of the frame. There is just a very
tiny amount of space left on both sides of the coin.
Using this same adapter, along with a special adapter plate for my old
Omega enlarger, I can mount my Pentax DSLR in place of my enlarger head.
This will let me shoot high-magnification macro through my EL-Nikkor
enlarging lens. With the camera mounted on the enlarger it's not
terribly portable, but I can definitely make use of this here at home.
These are some things I can make good use of right now, until I get more
elaborate macro gear. :)
I want to think everyone for their macro lens suggestions. You've all
been very helpful!
