He certainly did, but I wasn't trying to make them look beautiful, just
checked for focus.  On one the emulsion is burned.

I'm guessing about a 30mm flat field macro lens should be roughly equal
to a 50-55mm macro.  Don't know if such a beast exists, however.  I
think it would have to be a specific lens designed for digital cameras.

You may be able to get away with either an add on "front of lens" filter
type CU diopter or some type of bellows systems, if they work with
digitals, or even using a reversing ring on a wide angle lens.
