You just want to make sure that you aren't smashing your reversed lens into anything. ALSO your Depth of Field goes way down to hardly anything. I'd love to see what it does for coin photos though.

rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 03/31/2011 11:54 pm Here are my photos. I have a Canon Rebel Xsi, first lenses are 70-300mm with a 52-58mm coupler. Backward lens is a 50mm. Here is an example shot with the 300 mm: 1917 Ty1 Standing Lib Quarter Then pulled the 300mm off and tried it with the 18-55mm with 50mm attached backwards: I'm realizing now I should have pulled the coin out of the flip so I didn't get the 'misty' look from the mylar cover. But you get the picture Edited by rjkingston 03/31/2011 11:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
