Is there a way to photograph a multi image?

I am curious to find out if there is a filter or lens that allows you to photograph a subject that will create a multi image directly in the camera? I want to do something like that for an idea I have, but not sure how to do it. A kaleidoscope filter in post processing does not create the effect I am trying to accomplish.

Along this line?

Maybe. What I am trying to do is photograph a spider in its web, and create an almost honeycomb look, as a fly might see it.

A specialty lens like that will be pretty expensive -- you might try calling a photographic or film rental company and see if they have something like that.

Thanks. I guess it is just one more idea that will have to go somewhere in the cosmos. Wonder how many of my thoughts are batting around out there.

Wow -- a bargain. Not as many facets as a fly's eyes though ...

There are filters that do this - I have one that splits it into 3 and one that splits it into 5 segments. I bought mine on eBay for very low price - I just can't remember what they are called. My brain is having a menopausal moment or something.

Anyway, here is a picture I took of a rose with the three segment one:

It turnes around on the front of the lens so you can get different effects - some with the images further apart and some close together, kind of like a kaleidoscope.
