Super Macro!!!

New equipment opens up new doors for everyone, including myself.  The other day I finally received my m42 adapter for my 50mm 1.4 (finally have a fast lens) and a reversal ring.

Wait, whats that?

Im glad you asked.

A reversal ring is an adapter that allow you to use your lens backwards.  Why the heck would you ever do that?  Another good question.  When you do this, you get super macro DOF.  Why spend over $400 on a new macro lens when you can get the same if not better results with a cheap adapter?

Its very interesting to get used to it, you have to get very very close to your subject.

Here are a couple of photos for you to check out and see what it can do for you.



really tiny screws.
