Anybody use one? For about $7.95 a pop, you can have some serious fun with this thing! 
What you need:
1. A lens coupler
2. Two lens (I used my 18-55 kit lens and a 50mm 1.8D prime lens)
3. A tripod (not necessary, but nice to have)
So I screwed the lens coupler in front of the first lens (like a filter) and then screw the front of the second lens on the other side of the coupler (see pic below..) Then mount one of the lens on your body. It would be nice if one of your glass has an aperture ring so you can set it wide open and you won't have to hold the latch.
This is my subject for today.. a Nikkor 18-200 glass
Here's a shot of the "VR" resized to fit your monitor but not cropped
now here's the cropped version at 100%

This is a cheap way to shoot macros, but it does have some limitations... one is that you have to be extremely close to the subject (~2 inches or so) and It's also somewhat hard to focus properly. Other than that, it's good stuff, especially if you're on a budget.
