There you go...

As for a closeup lens, I tried this:

B30 (I think) to 52mm screw-in adapter + 52-58mm step
up ring + Canon 500D close-up lens:

I tried this cuz I already own it and wanted to see if
it worked. It worked, though you have to watch out for
parallax error and make sure the taking lens is the
same distance from the subject as the viewing lens.

If you want the real thing, you might try www.keh.com.

Best luck.
