You can use  these lenses as macro lens by to reverse mounting them on the Raspberry Pi HQ camera.  That works surprisingly good. See my earlier posts.

In short: you need a reverse macro ring adapter and some step up rings. I use a Pentax K-mount adapter and ring, because I have some classic Pentax glass, that can be also used with the Raspberry Pi HQ camera.
