Abstract

An attachment for the lens of a camera to facilitate macro photography. The device comprises a clear plastic tube, manufactured to the precise length required to achieve 1:1, or other desired close-up ratio, focusing for a given camera. The plastic tube is provided with a step-up ring at one end to provide a means for threaded attachment to the camera lens. The device is then screwed onto the lens of a camera to take close range photos.
