The 2x converter is just there to give me a lens monunt. I had an old
junky 2x converter sitting around -- parts of that are, from camera end
outwards:
flanges that fit into a body
bunch of glass and tubing and stuff
flanges that a lens fits into.
I wanted the first ones, so I unscrewed that bit from the rest of the
converter, Dremelled away the extra stuff, and used it as a lens mount.
A body cap would have the same effect, or as also pointed out, a
reversing ring.
(original use of this gutted teleconverter was to make a rudimentary
Lensbaby, but I could never find a decent material to make the bellows
out of between lens and body).

Nature is definitely the way to go for really close up -- manmade
stuff runs out of detail past a certain point, but nature keeps on
making crinkles/hairs/scales/etc as you get closer in..
