As I mentioned elsewhere here, the Faboky project I'm writing up uses a Fresnel magnifier sheet cut to a 7" circle, giving around 290mm f/1.6 for under $3. It's a lousy lens, but what f/1.6 that covers 4x5 isn't lousy?

I've found the best use for sheet fresnel material is to throw your flash further when you're using a telephoto lens.
