[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 252946, member: 15675"] Michael, Just to make extra clear, in the above case with old lenses you will need to work in Manual or Aperture priority setting, same with the reverse lens. I love working with my Osawa lens, that company went bust in the eighties, but some colour rendering and brokeh is really lovely on my DSLR. Look at some tutorials on the internet for reversing lenses, it will make it clear. Staking a reverse lens I find very difficult, even if have not given up on it. For reversing I would recommend about 50mm and make certain the aperture is manual, but you can experiment with your kit lenses, however zooms are generally not recommended (break the rules is rule number 1 in photography though).
