I'm using a Nikon D50 with a homemade Pringles can Macro lens. The pringles can is lens is easy to make as long as you have a camera that has a removable lens.

I think its performance is comparable to much more expensive macro lenses, but it is a bitch to focus as you can probably see from the pics.
