Years ago I bought an adapter that screwed onto the front of the standard lens that allowed lens to be screwed on, in reverse, to a Pentax 42 screw thread camera. It was cheap and gave great results within it's limited focusing range.
Dated and low tech I know but fun at the time.

I got this result using an old 50mm lens reverse mounted on a tube on a Canon A80. Super cheap macro !
