P3D Nimslo 4 image 1' close-up lense (available at a pharmacy near you)

While shopping at a Walgreens I spotted a Bausch and Lomb "Sightsavers" 2" X
4" magnifying lense selling for $7.99.  I cut the handle off and attached it
to my trusty Nimslo using 2 rubber bands (at 2" by 4" the magnifying lense
is only slightly smaller than the front of the Nimslo).  I just got back a
nice roll of close-ups I shot using this configuration.  Unlike other
close-up lenses I've used with the Nimslo, all four images are exposed.  
The magnification and focusing is similar to the 1' close-up lense I got
from Technical Enterprises, and the images are quite sharp.  I've always
liked the amount of depth the Nimslo's 3/4" lense seperation produces at 1
foot.  Now that I can get 4 close-up images at once my next step is to see
if I can get 3-Dx to print some close-up lenticulars -  with any luck in
time to include in the close-up folio.
