Binocular Lens Macro
Posted By: Paleo Pete, 10-25-2014, 05:16 PM

Now this is macro on the cheap. Took the objective lens off a junk pair of binoculars, planned to just hold it in front of a lens but found out it wiggles onto a 50mm just fine, and works very well..Haven't used it much in a while and decided to pull it out last week on a morning with lots of dew.

Beebalm flower



Purple Gaillardia not fully open



Gulf Fritillary



Can't remember the name of this vine, unopened flowers on a cluster about the size of a nickel.

Here's what I used for these shots, but with a K30 instead of this K-x. Different 50mm too, used a 50mm M series f1.7 for these. Lens in the picture is my A series f1.4.

Interesting find indeed and better results than the cheap diopters!
