Darin, the CCTV lenses are unbranded (and given the quality of construction,
I am not surprised), made in China. If you want higher quality, I suggest
you follow the route illustrated on the link I posted - get hold of a used
C-mount movie lens with a recognised brand name. It should not cost a whole
lot more on that auction site than the no-name CCTV lenses I used (which I
chose for ready availability and low price). The C-mount register distance
is 17.526mm, which is similar to the 20/3.5 lens-to-subject distance.
As to photos of and with ... Sure, one of these days when I have something
worth seeing in each category. At this stage I am at "proof of concept"
stage, having expended very little $$$. I suggest you try the same (and do
take a look at the two examples on the original link, as typical of the
effect you can get).

Hello Piers,
I'm very intrigued by the possibility of getting more depth of field from a
macro lens. I was wondering if you could show us some photos of your
creation, and some examples of photos you've made with it? Also, what brand
cctv lenses did you use?
Thanks, Darin
