Excellent Accessory for Macro Photography
Review Date: March 9, 2010
Reviewer: Jose A. Diaz Garcia, Queretaro, Mexico
I bought this ring after read a photography book, I used it with my canon 18-55mm lens and is amazing how close the objects can be seen. It's a must for macro photography. You will need a tripod also.
Great for extreme close ups of stationary subjects

Reviewer: Gayan Randeny,
It is a passive device. Remember that by default when you use the reversed lens, your lens is wide open giving you a very narrow depth of field. I used this with my MM F/1.4 where the focus is set to infinity. I can get real close (2/3 inches) from the subject and get a full frame shot of a point on your subject. Your lens should be MM filter size. You need to be careful with the following.
1. You are exposing the back of your lens. when you get too close to the subject, make sure you are not knocking anything off with the back element. (hope someone comes up with a back element protection filter {I am planning to make my own}).
2. Most probably you will be moving in and out to get the focus from the subject. If your light source is too close it can cast a glare. (Not sure you can find a lens back side hood)
3. Be careful with the lighting. TTL metering works, but if I experienced some blown out highlights when I was not careful with the lighting.
4. Macros of moving subjects is almost impossible (both to maintain the focus by moving the whole camera with the subject and not to scare away if it is a living object are going to be hard)
Check the pictures that I have uploaded. Image description starts with "Gayan's...". If you have time I have the full setup detailed on my site [...] | Reviews section.
Enjoy the real cheap macro photo accessory.
Please also note that this will not replace a dedicated macro lens. (that will give you distance from the subject, control over f stop (and DoF) and focus).
Adapter ring works great, they ship quick!

Reviewer: Trevis,
This thing mounts very well, threads to my lenses very nicely also. Made of high grade aluminum, so it ought to last a good long while.
Does what it's supposed to and at a great price

It's a passive device but it does exactly what it is intended to - mount your lens in reverse. It is made of sturdy metal but very light. Mounted on a Canon XS and 18-55 Canon EF lens, it fits percetcly in the threaded end and and the collar end.
Experiment Gone Right

I had read about reverse rings in a book about up close photography and I thought it a very inexpensive experiment to try. I look forward to playing with this tool and becoming more masterful with its use.
