[QUOTE="Old Deep Sea Diver, post: 301407, member: 16956"] I have to disagree with the comment of a 50mm (I use the 1.8 - $100 bucks new) is not a macro lens, I constanty play with mine reveresed using a nikon BR2A reversing ring. I have a Nikon 200mm f/4 ED-IF AF Micro Telephoto Nikkor lens , and on a D800E - you get amazing results, but use my 50mm 1.8 on the same body reversed to get some stunning pictures as well. It's a great way to use old lenses , garage sale lenses, and junk bin ones to make excellent macro shots on a shoestring budget :) BUT - buy a BR2A ring, which can be used as a BR2 ring as well, if you use a BR2 on your nikon, you will destroy the electrical contacts, and don't get an offmake on the ring, the one from nikon is only 50 bucks new Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
