I read this article over at Digital Photography School about using a reverse adapter ring to create a cheap macro lens. Since I own a 50mm f/1.8 lens with a 52mm element, I decided to buy one. It just arrived today from Amazon and this thing is amazing! I can't believe the type of shots I can get with this simple adapter! The image for today is a perfect example. It's an extreme macro shot of the flowers that have been featured here on Photo Informatica. I am really looking forward to using this adapter a lot more! As a note, the EXIF data will be missing the lens and aperture information since the lens is reverse mounted. As a result, I have included the information below. The aperture needs to be set directly on the aperture ring itself. As a result the camera was in manual mode. Lens: 50mm (prime) | Aperture: f/8
Lens: N/A | Aperture: N/A | Shutter: 1/80 sec | ISO: 500
