macro = extension rings or shitty chinese macro attachmentsfisheye = shitty chinese fisheye attachments or a russian manual fisheye
>>142320Russian manual fisheyes are in fact actual eyes of big genetically manipulated cloned cod. I heard that the mother-cod (from which the others where cloned) was caught by Stalin himself.. that last part is just a rumour, though.
I was thinking more along the lines of Glass lens, door peepholes, reverse lens' etc... any others?
>>142327Reverse lens adapters are fine too if you have a half-decent prime. Magnifying glass and door peepholes usually produce pictures that look straight from Holga, if not worse.
Buy Phoenix/Cosina/whatever 105mm 3.5It gets only to 1:2, but still. $100 new, a lot less used.
