I just ordered it off of ebay. There are dozens of them. I just found the cheapest one as a test. There are some as expensive as $80 but I don't know the quality difference:

I just took this with a $5 macro lens for my iPhone. But as has been stated, you have to get super close and the depth of field is extremely narrow.

You can look for a used DSLR and a low end macro zoom lens and probably find the whole package under 500$]]> Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:58:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543943&title=macro-lens#543943 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543933&title=macro-lens#543933 Author: Mark Peterson

ok that is kinda what I was wondering. So what is a good camera setup with a macro? all I seen was ones that cost like $500 and more. Is there a decent one for like $200-$400?]]> Wed, 13 Nov 2013 13:50:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543642&title=macro-lens#543642 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543576&title=macro-lens#543576 Author: laynframe

I have used the macro lenses. They work pretty good, but you Jane to get super close to the coral. I used a cup and shot photos that way. You can't really shoot from outside the tank with them]]> Wed, 13 Nov 2013 06:28:26 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543576&title=macro-lens#543576 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543570&title=macro-lens#543570 Author: phys

you can do the same thing with a cheap lens out of an old laser pen. Be aware that the macro lens only decreases the close focus distance, which means you just have to get closer. If you're looking to do something from in your tank, you may want to look at something that simulates a macro zoom. ]]> Wed, 13 Nov 2013 01:54:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543570&title=macro-lens#543570 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67634&PID=543567&title=macro-lens#543567 Author: fishnfresh
