<p>Here's a pic through the lens at 18mm, with the ruler almost against the front of the barrel:<br>

<p>Yeah, you're right, "Nestor". I just get my jollies from making up obscure claims about lenses.<br>

Here are pics of the lens and images through it. See what happens when you call me a liar? You get burned.</p>

Cool project, but if you want to turn that lens into a macro, all you have to do is remove the front element. There are two indentions in the front ring that will let you unscrew it (although you might need a special tool).

I discovered this when my lens accidentally wound up in my luggage and had its front element crushed in during transit.
