[QUOTE="STM, post: 162776, member: 12827"] I use my 50mm f/1.4 AI reversed on my bellows. The shorter the focal length, the greater the magnification. If you are going to reverse a lens, you should also look into getting a macro rail like [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-way-Macro-Focusing-Rail-Slider-for-Canon-Nikon-Sony-Sigma-SLR-/380654045026?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a0bfc762"]this one[/URL]. When you reverse a lens, you can no longer focus the lens using the focusing helicoid so you must either move the subject, which is often not practical or even possible, or the camera. This allows you to move the entire camera back and forth to focus, as well as side to side for minor corrections in composition. [/QUOTE]
