Sometimes you have to make due with what you have. I took a regular magnifying glass (GLASS not plastic) that was about the exact size of my 58mm lens adaptor took the glass out and electrical taped it on the front of my lens adaptor to give me even more magnifacation. What do you think?

Although I can't say that duct tape hasn't saved the day for me a time or two. Like they say "If you can't fix it with duct tape you probably can't fix it." Thanks, Glad you like them.
