Vivitar 28mm f2.8 M42 Screw mount lens currently mostly collecting some dust on my older film camera. I have been considering taking this lens and my kenko extension tubes - getting a canon reverse mounting adaptor and connecting the two together for some macro work on my main camera (400D).
Apparently it should give me some silly strong magnification factor though I am wondering if the lens itself has enough quality to warrent trying.
Also anyone got any general advice on reverse mounting lenses? The lens in question does have a (little bit stiff) manual aperture closing slider and (of course) an easy to turn manual aperture ring
