The N Word

[Kazooie]

This was actually the result of reverse-lensing, something I've been wanting to do for a while but ever got around to doing. Next time I'll be using a tripod to stabilize and get more in focus.

Thoughts?

Isn't that actually the C word?

I suppose, but... :greenpbl:

Isn't that actually the C word?

Yes, and we don't use that word here, so please proceed with caution.

What was the goal of this image, so we know what we are looking for?

Using a reversing ring can be a very expensive way to get into macrophotography but you will find out immediately, as you already have, that focusing is a PITA. Invest in a two axis (front to back, left to right) focusing rail and you will be amazed at how much fun it can be!

I have been using this one for over 10 years and it works great. I even mount my bellows rig on it so I can fine adjust from side to side

I think you meant "inexpensive way".... i am hearing about this focusing rail for the first time!!! how much one will have to pay for that?

Kazooie; Why you focusd on "no"? being rebellious ?

It looks identical to the focusing rail I currently use. Its pretty much one of the two common designs sold on ebay, a generic design that almost anyone can use with their own stamp. I think even Adorama puts their stamp on it and sells it as their own rail.

Personally I think for its price point, its one of the best options - there are better, but then you're either looking at Novoflex or Stopshot (motorized) and both of them are expensive options for a rail; good quality but not cheap (though Novoflex stuff can sometimes work its way into fairly cheap prices second hand if you're lucky).

Thanks for stopping by!

Honestly, the goal was just to try revers lensing.

Wow, I might just have to get one of the generico rails, thanks!

And I'm always a rebel, just kidding. I'm too white to be a thug.
