I spent much of the day modding an old Holga 120SF. It now has a bulb mode (well, ok, it now has nothing but a bulb mode), a cable release and a tripod mount. It also has a detachable (via the magic of tape) 6x closeup lens, purloined from a magnifying glass. Early tests suggest a focus sweet spot at about 4 inches and a terrifyingly tiny depth of field. This could be fun.
areyarey, John Baird, anikarenina, farlane, and 74 other people added this photo to their favorites.

Do you think that you could possibly put a specific how to, on how to construct that closeup lens out of a magnifying glass? I'd greatly appreciate it!

This is really pretty! I'd like my Holga to go for close ups, too.
