Abstract Oops my lens is on backwards...

Canis · 01-01-2014, 12:51 PM

with my new reverse mount ring! My first shots are not perfect and this one was the better of the series (with some minor adjustments on LR4). Tricky to set up shots in some circumstances because of focusing. Once I get used to it, I am going to have fun with my poor man's macro!

The one I have is Fotodiox 49mm. Metal design. Good fit and quality. I think its $4 bucks or so on Amazon.

That's awesome! I just now went the other "poor man's" route, following Bret's thread about converting a teleconverter to a macro tube.
