$6 Macro Tilt Lens without glue or duct tape

This guy bought a discarded slide projector for $6 at a recycling center. He then turn the projector lens into a tilt macro lens for his dSLR.

Any lens can be adapted as long as the distance from the back of the lens to the focal point (slide, film, or whatever it is projecting from or to…) is more than the distance from the flange (where the lens attaches) to the sensor. Below is the projector the guy got from the recycling center and he is going to use the lens and convert it into a macro lens for his dslr.

Some addition material needed to build this macro lens. You will need a length of hose and a body cap for your dSLR

This is how he get the focus length correct. Something to bear in mind do not put the ruler inside the dslr.

After getting the measurement correctly the next thing is to cut a hole on the lens cap. Use a hole saw and cut the hole slightly larger than the inside diameter of your hose.

This is how it look like after fully assembled and it is now ready to be attach onto the dslr.

Another picture of it being attach to dslr and a macro shot taken with it.
