I agree that a lens reversing adapter is well worth having and using for some macro pictures. Usually that means using the lens in total manual mode when reversed. Reversing also works better with prime lenses, though I have an old Vivitar zoom that worked great when reversed. Recently, though I tried reversing another zoom and it couldn't focus on anything reversed!
You might also get some amazing results by reversing the 35mm on the front of the 200mm. A reversed prime lens is remarkably better than those little +1-+4 diopter supplementary lenses on the front of a lens.
