All this is is the lens from a cardboard toy stereoscope that I got in a Japanese children's magazine. The focal length is about 3 inches. It pretty much drops right in to the lens barrel, with some foil tape to keep it in place. So easy! The lens is plastic. And lucky me I have two of them. ;) I definitely will be experimenting with the lens on the Slim Pink Dress camera as well.
After some googling, this is the closet thing I could find for sale.
I haven't developed my Holga macro images yet but I will very soon! As soon as I can get in the darkroom that is... hopefully Monday.
I know there are commercially available Holga macro and close up lens attachments, and that people have achieved Holga macro success with magnifying filters but this is what I managed with stuff in my junk drawer for free. I don't even know if my idea works, but I feel like it should. It's the same principle. I'll be sure to post back with my results!
I must apologize for the poor quality of the image, my Rebel's battery is dead and I can't find the charger... hopefully it is in my dorm room!
