I made a macro lens from a discarded pair of binoculars. My Panasonic FZ-2 had a threaded ring around the lens. I attached the modified binocular to the ring so that the lens protruded into the binocular tube. It worked wonderfully. I still miss that camera a little due to the 12x f2.8 constant lens. A great first camera that really got me into Macro. This one is real rain in the flower garden.
