My new friend Yyoseph took some inspiration from the Photocritic Pringles Macro article, and then decided to do it better - instead of using an inflexible Pringles can, he decided to use method which essentially makes the extension tube and reversing mount telescopic, allowing for less or even more extreme macro photography.

Making your own lenses is all the rage these days, and we are all for that particular flavour of fun.
Mark Tucker makes a lens out of a Plunger, simultaneously creating what he claims is the ugliest camera in the world. MKAZ is a prolific lens maker who has photo essays and information about no less than 7 lenses he has made himself. Orbit 1 features a compact bellows-style lens which can also be used as a tilt/shift lens, and Chromasia takes it a step further, making an actual Tilt/Shift lens himself. Oh, and there’s of course our very own Pringles macro lens, too.
Bravo, guys, keep them coming!
