Now try getting a reversing ring and reverse your lens........

 

[zombiesniper]

Not a bad idea....wonder if they make one for the 500. lol

Actually, reversing a 500 will do you little good. If you really want to get close, reverse wide-angles instead.

I know. It'll actually do the revers and make everything seem really far away. I always laugh when kids see the lens and want to look down the wrong end.

Very nice, and another vote for the pencil.

What I've done is mount the 50 on the camera, then reverse-coupled the 24 to the 50. Initially, I used gaffing tape but have since spent the $6 and got a thread coupler.

Nice - amazing how the perception of texture changes as you magnify.

 

[zombiesniper]

Thank you.

Nice job zombie. I had to look to see if you used the 500 on that pencil. lol
