[QUOTE="nidding, post: 310651, member: 17555"] Hello. I just wanted to toss in my 2 cents :) First advise: Turn your lens back on to the normal direction and keep it that way for a few weeks! In the mean time, switch to manual mode and learn how to control your camera. First when you understand how exposure works and how to get what you want, you should reverse your lens again. When you reverse your lens, all automatics on the camera stops. So do yourself a favour, and learn how to use manual controls first :) Here's a video that explains the basics :) [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzn6yKTVcfs[/url] Second advise: Consider getting your hands on another lens, that actually lets you control aperture. The 18-55 is a pain in the bud to reverse, as your control over it is very bad. Getting a manual 50mm lens is pretty cheap, and as a bonus you can use it like a regular lens, which will give you a lot of practice using the manual mode :) Hope it helps :) [/QUOTE]
