 There is a mechanical focus adjustment on the back panel of the WV1410 
 that will allow you to get a close focus with your existing lens. Not as
 good as a true macro lens but fairly effective. I have digitized 35mm
 slides and 35mm B/W negatives this way. It helps to have an adjustable
 f-stop so you can stop down to increase your depth-of-field.
