While experimenting on how to capture snowflake images, here's a variation of a method I found on the internet. I use a 2" to 2" rubber PVC connector with its hose clamps. This size connector fit an old Minolta 50mm lens I had lying around and it also fit snugly over the base on the lens on my MX-1. There's not enough material for the connector clamp to grab onto the MX-1, so even though it is snug you do have to hold it with your hand, otherwise the weight of the lens may cause it to fall. I extend the MX-1 lens to full zoom to maximize my magnification.
The image of your subject comes out within a black circle, but is easily cropped out. It didn't work as well for snowflakes as my K5 set-up, but I thought I'd pass along the method in case someone would like to experiment themselves. It's very inexpensive to try.
