Reverse macro of random things =)

[kimbhoot]

amazing thread and amazing work by all. This got me interested in the (reverse) macro photography. I currently have a canon 18-55, sigma 18-200 and a 50mm 1.8 lens. I'm thinking 18-55 mounted and 50mm reversed? what do you guys think? Also what f stop and focusing should I be doing on each lens.

Thanks.

It would be more fun mounting the 50mm on the sigma at 200mm.. 4x magnification.. but DOF will be very shallow.

I would like to try the sigma. only problem is the sigma front is way larger in diameter compared to the 50mm. so it might allow light to enter if I hand hold this. should I focus both of the lenses to infinity? what about f stop?

in that case maybe no point.. the vignetting would be very serious.. unless u get a larger dia 50mm lens like the sigma F1.4.

for your other qns, TS already mentioned in post 140.
