Great to hear that, Otto. Isn’t Macro Photography just awesome? 😉

Hey ! Just wanted to add something, you can keep your aperture control while reverse mounting your lens, you just need to get an adapter like the meike mk-c-up reverse mount adapter which basically passes the information from your camera to your lens through a cable, it also protects your contacts and you can add a clear filter at the very tip of your set up to protect the inside of the lens from dust.

I own one of these. Mine is a very cheap plastic thing from Aputure, and I have to say I don't like it for the very simple reason that it sticks out from the back of the reversed lens and limits how close I can get. It's possible to mount a ring flash to it, but at high magnification the flashlight won't reach the subject, because the flash sticks out beyond the subject. So I prefer the work-around.

Thank you so much! I need to say though that this video is mostly about magnification. It does show that the sharpness isn’t on par with other solutions and that you lose light with some tools. Plus: no doubt a dedicated lens is more convenient. But: it definitely can be done and not everyone wants to spend money on a dedicated macro lens.

the image at 6:18 is so powerful with that sense of scale. even though it wasnt part of this experiment, that is my favorite image. bravo
