Been playing around with a reversal ring, some came out quite nice. C&C is much appreciated. Enjoy!

1. Some tea making thingy

2. An old steel sponge

3. An also slightly old sink plug

4. Part of my guitar

Might post some more later

Great work for a reversed ring! Really nice and sharp. Which lens did you reversed? The 35 or the 50?

Thanks for sharing your results!

I used the 50mm, it gives amazingly sharp results. The magnification with the 35mm is already quite extreme and it's a bit awkward to work with since it has no aperture ring.

If it interests anybody, here's my improvised setup for the shots in the last and this picture.

Basically the D7000 with reversed 50mm on a tripod. The camera flash controls an SB-900 in slave mode to the left equipped with a bouncer to provide smooth area light from above. The laptop is a thinkpad with a nice matte-black surface that minimizes reflections and gives a nice smooth ground. Please ignore the messy desk .

And here is the result of the above shot:

Thanks again. And when you ask so nice, how could I not continue? Here's one from today, enjoy!

Dunno, might have gone a bit over the edge with post processing here.

Great details! perhaps try with a diffuser to make those metals more smooth?

I was using indirect flash on a white surface above. I'll try with a bigger distance next time. Thanks for the hint.

Here's one more, some antenna connectors on a small industry PC. Enjoy!
