Macro 50mm lens reversed on front of a Sigma 105

50mm lens reversed on front of a Sigma 105 · **1 Like**

I left some of the EXIF data blank intentionally as these are all different settings. I have adapted a 50mm 1.7 M lens to the front of a Sigma 105 macro.

Wow, all good, but the first one is just, wow!

Wonderful shots! The first is great, but I also like the detail in the center of the third, a lot.

I'm starting to get conflicted on whether to buy the Sigma 105 or the Sigma 70, after seeing more of what people can do with the 105mm.

That 105 probably gets more use than any other lens I own. Sometimes it is just a bit much though, especially with a 1.5 X crop factor.

Douglas these are out of this world great! I am inspired to learn your technique. Beautiful captures of lovely subjects!

Wonderful captures Douglas. The light in the first and the detail in all three are amazing.

Exquisite

Fantastic - and each image in its own way. Although the second one did make me think of Little Shop of Horrors - Feed me Seymour, I'm hungry.
