  I tried making one; I bought a horrible low-end set of "close up 
lenses" off eBay, and one of those is a "10x" lens in 55mm -- using a 
sheet of rubber and a gutted 2x converter, I managed to get something 
vaguely lens-baby-like, but it was always a bit too painful to use to 
really be worthwhile. I'd be curious about the 'feel' of a real 
lensbaby, because I think the problem mine had was that the walls of the 
tube were too springy.
