Mandy,

The thickness of the diffuse surface (intermediate image area) has a lot to do with how much hotspot you get. If it is too thin, you get concentrated light passing through the center of...

Jim,

I'm about to check some of the links out, but I wanted to ask a question that I've been wondering since the vacuum devices were mentioned: Would this work with hot wax? Even if the device...

Martin,

I myself have given up on the oscillating designs because I lack the tools to build the device with the precision required.

However, I have now gone back to the spinning adapter. Why? ...

I purchase round picture frames from Hobby Lobby. The glass is close to 50mm in diameter. The best part is they cost $ .99 each.

Hi Keith!

I haven't heard of a Micro Wax additive, but next time I'm at Michael's I'll see if I can find it. Would be nice if they carried it - I'd like to have a local supplier since I'm...

Dan,

Thanks for putting up some framegrabs and video clips! Looks like you've gotten around the hotspot and vignetting problems. Excellent quality!

What about some underwater footage? ;-)

Mandy,

The macro would go between the DV camera and the ground glass. Also, to keep from getting barrel distortion, you should place the ground glass a bit away from the DV Camera / macro and...

Jonny,

I have found the best method for making a wax-free glass is not to let the wax fill in between the glass, but to put the two separate pieces together under the melted wax, with a spacer...

Craig,

Also keep in mind that if your intermediate image surface is too 'thin' (ie. not ground enough / not diffuse enough), then this could add to the hotspot problem. The light from the lens...

Well...I was just checking out your site and I think I found the answer. Looks like a DVX-100(a) and a LOT of screw-rings / spacers.

( Looks much better than my masking tape version. LOL! )

Michal,

Nice images!

Looks like there may be a tad bit of color fringing / aberration in the pics.

Could you give us the low-down on what you used?

Thanks for posting!
