CCTV Macro lens
CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) is old news, but because it is, you can pick up broken CCTV cameras at next to no price. You could even get lucky by dumpster-diving!
Our friends at AcaPixus have written a guide how you can use a CCTV lens as a part of a macro setup.
Even if you can’t find any CCTV lenses, the general info on that page is worth checking out - it may just spark some inspiration for your own DIY projects!
Have you read my Macro book?
I am rather proud of the fact that I have written a book about macro photography. It looks like that →
Hang on, did I just say a book? Sorry about that. All modesty aside, it's the book on macro photography. It's got a huge chapter on equipment, tons of info about the various styles and topics, a chapter on lighting, and even a chapter on digital darkroom stuff especially for macro photography.
Seriously, this book is 288 pages long, and it's got everything you ever wanted to know. And loads you probably didn't want to know, but that might come in useful anyway.
Get your copy of the book from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk today! If you prefer, you can buy a signed copy directly from me from this page.

Funny you should mention this; I recently acquired a Fujinon CCTV lens that I looking for a mount for, so I’ll definitely drop by and look at the macro set-up.
