Looking at 3 reverse rings and have worked myself into a bit of confusion... actually more than a bit.
1) Understanding that my 18-55mm Kit lens is 52mm I am pretty safe at getting:
- Fotodiox 52mm Filter Thread Lens, Macro Reverse Ring Camera Mount Adapter for Nikon SLR Cameras
2) If I wanted to try reversing my 55-300, with an 58mm lens (Probably wrong terminology...) would this one work:
- Fotodiox 07LAnk58r RB2A 58MM Filter Thread Lens, Macro Reverse Ring Camera Mount Adapter for Nikon ?
- Is this even a worthwhile pursuit? Reversing a 55-300? I think my understanding is that in reversing a lens... I would actually get MORE magnification at the smaller end of the spectrum: 18. Can someone confirm/deny/educate me on this. Only thing worse than my camera knowledge is my internet research knowledge...
3) I ran across a 58 - 52 mm adapter ring.
- Fotodiox 52mm - 58mm, 52-58mm Macro Close-up Reverse Ring, Anodized Black Metal Ring, for Nikon
-Any idea what I could expect as far as magnification combining the 55-300 with the 18-55?
I don't mind simply buying them and testing them out ( they are inexpensive) but I would rather have a bit of expectation management before possibly being extremely disappointed.
Again, Thanks for anything you could offer. I did look around the net, however I value the opinions/thoughts here more.
