Reversed Lens or Super Macro

I was going to start a new thread, but I discovered that there was a theme thread for this...

Fixed the links. I'm not sure if these are the same ones I had originally posted, but I think they probably are (or close enough anyway).

I used a Tamron AF28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 to take these photos; using it backwards. It gives you a macro! :lmao: Learned this from a friend.

Have you tried it before? :D

Also, I've done this little trick:

You can put higher f-number on the lens, but adjusting f-number first, holding down the dof preview button and taking the lens off the camera at same time, now the f-number selected will stay on the lens after you remove it. If you remove the lens normally lens will be wide open and naturally focused area will be really(too) small.

I still don't get how you could hold your camera so far away and still get sharp reverse macro pictures but I guess my lens is just different or something lol.

here are some of mine:

#1 I guess f/11 was still too wide for reverse macro pics.

#4 I used a much longer focal length for this one.

#6 and no this is NOT a real Rolex lol. I hate when my lens cast a huge shadow when taking close up pictures a macro flash would have been nice ^^.

A theme thread on photos taken with the reversed lens has existed for long, so I merged the newly started with the existing one.
 
Bringing this (sorta) dead theme back!

Posting 2 because they go together, lol.

My new camera:
