 Check it out I ripped out a lens from an old DVD player I had hanging around and used a dremmel to size it to fit in my incase slider case and hey presto macro photos. Got it from here, http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/diy- ... -zero-tec/_________________

That’s what I thought. It’s an interesting mod. I wonder if it will work with a lens from other things.

With my incase slider case I just put it in the resess to take them and pop it out when I'm finished. Going to test some more in daylight. I'll post pics of the mod.
