[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 751905, member: 47518"] Thanks, Cindy. Now, not starting experiments yet, I think it's cleared up there are at least four options (or alternatives) to take macro photos: macro lens, reverse ring with regular lens, macro coupling ring, and extension tube (for both regular and macro lens). The main disadvantage of the reverse ring is no AF and only the smallest aperture available if lenses with no aperture ring. The coupling ring option seems lucky enough to avoid this issue (primary lens directly contacts body and the secondary lens reversed). There are two types of extension tube set: contact and no contact. Macro lenses are way more costly but easy to operate I reckon. I'll first get a reverse ring (55mm) and a coupling ring (55mm, 58mm) to start my macro experiment soon. Already played reverse lens to visualize the tiny computer screen pixels in a clear color display... like you are looking into a microscope! I think this is a fun and exciting adventure. [/QUOTE]
