Soooo confused

Oh, and... I personally love my 50mm 1.8, play around with that 1.4 indoors for photographing people or things close to you. The f1.4 will make an amazing background. Also, if you're unaware, you can flip your lenses around so the front element is now touching the camera mount and use it as a macro lens. Try it out!

I did not you could flip the lens, something I'm definitely I'm going to try. I Googled it and will be ordering the piece to try it out.. thanks for the info

You can do it without the reverse lens mount. That's how I've done it

Really?? I've tried again unless there is something I'm not getting, but when I turn the lens around it will not connect in any way

what am I not getting??

It doesn't need to connect. Just hold the front element to the lens mount with your hand and get the shot in focus through the view finder. You'll need to move the camera back and forth until you find clear focus.

Ahhhh, of course.. I'll try it. I like to shoot close-ups so definitely worth a shot.. who knows if it works out I'll buy the piece to connect it. Ty

a reverse mount adapter is only around $3 - good for close-in shots on the "cheap" but if you shoot a lot of macros insects, flowers, etc. you will want a real 1:1 macro lens

A reverse mount can get you bigger magnification though. Be sure to us a wide angle lens, if you want maximum magnification (yes, it´s exactly the opposite compared to regular mount) and make sure the lens is clean otherwise you might end up with dust on your sensor. I´ve already written text and storyboard for a tutorial video about inverse mount macro photography. I´m just waiting for an order from Amazon (I want to make a cheap DIY lighting sollution that is hopefully much better than a ringlight)
