The Fly - reversed lens macro (6 pics)

[Alex_B]

The detail is amazing, how do you reverse the lens?? Is it on your EOS? and if so how does the metering work??

If you want full metering and automatic, go for the solution by Novoflex (Southern German company), where you actually attach the lens reversed to the camera body by an adapter and then you attach another adapter to the rear side of the lens which connects all the wires with the first adapter.

Was bidding on one of those kits for EOS on ebay recently, it went for 190ish EUR.

Beautiful


Do conventional macro lenses exist that're capable of this level of magnification? or can it only be achieved by this reverse trick. It's a shame about the blur.
