You know, speaking as a person who usually takes more photos after dark than when it's light out.

Welcome to macro photography. As someone who shoots almost entirely with a macro lens, I've always been shocked when you mentioned that you want lenses that have something like a f1.2 aperture. I'm more of an f22 man myself. “Razor thin depth-of-field”? Welcome to macro photography.

I suggest this with only a vauge idea what your creation looks like.... heres what you do. insead of taping it to your camera find yourself a spare body cap. apply JB weld to attach lens creation to body cap. now you have a macro lens that you can take off the camera when want to use a different lens.
