Close-up camera (my ongoing dilemma). Camera lens advise, anyone?

Thanks for the video. He mentions nowhere in that, the distance from the camera to the subject, which is probably like 1". Interesting idea though, I am going to go smash some camera's with a railroad tie and see how useful the lens's are after that.
