Macro over a wide angle?

[rawfa]

Hi,

I have no idea where I should have posted this, so mods feel free to move this where you think it should be.
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to use macro rings over a wide angle lens? I have a Canon Xh-A1 and I've been using a 72mm piece of crap cavision wide angle...which happens to have a from thread (even though it doesn't say the diameter). I was toying with the idea of maybe buying some macro rings to try to achieve some DOF. Did anyone ever had good results with something like this?

Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough. I own a couple of 35mm adapters, but the A1 has such a great shallow depth of field when you zoom in that I've been using it's stock lens more and more. The thing is, with the A1's stock lens you cannot have shallow depth of field on wider shots, like I have with my sigma 28mm f1.8. I was wondering if by using a wide angle (not necessarily my piece of crap one) with a combination of macro rings I could up to a certain extent emulate what I have with the sigma. Today I shot the same thing with a 35mm using different lenses and then using only the A1's stock lens. I could more or less achieve the same results, except on wider shots (well, and the A1's stock lens is sharper than any adapter).

You could use the macros on the outside of the WA lens, and limit the focus distance, thereby throwing the background out of focus.
