If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Only last weekend someone was telling me about this technique. Basically, you get two lenses, and mount them both on your camera. The first lens is mounted on the body as normal, and the second is mounted the other way round using the filter threads and an adapter ring. You effectively have a microscope.

I did this technique with the macro shots on my Flickr. To do it properly make sure both lenses are the same diameter, otherwise you'll get big vignettes on your images.

The only two lenses with the same diameter I have is my wide angle and serious zoom lens. Where can I get those filter screw adapters?

Thanks. But what you need is a ring that gives you the ability to mount a two lenses together - facing each other.

I'd try gaffer tape and elastic bands to start with.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

Oh sorry. As Mark says I'd search for "Reverse Ring Coupler" or similar.

I've seen a blog about some cheapskate using a Pringles tube setup, allows for easier adjustment I guess.
