Add-on macro lens for Digilux/MX1700 zoom

[Herb]

If you have a Leica Digilux Zoom (or, I think, a Fuji Finepix 1700MX) here's a cheap way to increase its macro magnification.

I found a child's toy telescope ($2 Canadian) at a science shop - (attached picture, top left).

Then I cut the end holding the objective lens off - (attached picture, top middle).
As luck would have it, the end holding the objective lens was an exquisitely perfect fit over the camera's lens - (attached picture, top right).

It works! See the bottom part of the picture showing Salal stems and flowers. The picture's been reduced in size.

OOPS! The picture's missing. I'll try again -
