Hello Everyone
I would like to try my hand at macro photography. I realise that the cost of a macro lens is rather high but before I finally decide if it's or me, I hope that it is I understand that it is possible to practice a little using t existing lens by reversing it and attaching it to the camera body using a reversing ring. I know that the aperture must be held open by some means. My question how will the shutter operate. I have held the lens against the body a pressed the button but nothing happens. Any guidance will be gratefully appreciated. My tanks in advance. Nikon D50 kit lens AF S DX Zoom Nikkor 18 to 55mm f/3.5 - 56 GED
