Can I stack 2 Macromate Mini lenses

[Broilerman]

Hi all,

I'm off to the Philippines for the first time later this year and as there are a lot of tiny creatures to be discovered, I wondered if you can stack 2 Macromate Mini lenses for even better results. If so, would anybody hazard a guess as to what distance to subject you would have to be to get it in focus.

Many thanks in advance

From a pure light/refraction standpoint, I'm pretty sure it won't work.

From a practical standpoint, even if it did you'd need to be so close you'd actually be BEHIND the subject.

It can be done without issue, distortion increases and vignetting will occur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDAopwmGXmk
