Yep , a Russian Industar 50mm screwed into the front of a Nikon 50 1.8D ,
Makes for a rather interesting result ...
Turns an ordinary 50mm , into a rather serious macro lens ..
The peep hole affect is the small DIA of the aperture , + that the Nikon lens is set back a little , so the distance from the 1.8D to the industar is far enough to make this peep hole affect more pronounced .

For some reason the Mantis are hiding !
Getting to them is rather difficult ( as is finding them ) , a serious lack of insects ATM to photograph .
Nikon D3200 + Kit lens
+4 close focus filter

Hmmm , auto focus can work , but might be more trouble than its worth ( switch to manual )
A half decent macro filter will give you very nice results , especially once you learn the techniques of macro ..
Get on youtube , lots and lots of tutorials .
One of these days I will have to incorporate Macro photography into my website ...
http://www.nikonforu...1062-hover-fly/ Look at these , just a D3200 and kit lens ... ( what I have on the way )
A very average sample from my 18-55 kit lens and close focus filter :
Camera is K200 ( 10MP ) ..
For learning whats needed , or even to find out if you enjoy Macro, the kit lens and a close focus filter is all it takes to take half decent pictures ..
the above image has been downsized and image quality lowered ( smaller file size )
When I get my D3200 + kit lens , I will be trying it with the +4 and +8 close focus ( macro ) filters, as the lens takes a 52mm filter and I have those .
