| Feb 13, 2017 at 7:00 | comment | added | godfatherofpolka | You want the reversed lens still to be attached to your camera, for this you need a reverse ring (it needs to match the filter thread size of the lens you want to reverse and, obviously, your camera mount). Here's an example (note, this is for Canon cameras, though, similar things are available for Nikon): petapixel.com/2015/05/01/… And yes, you will lose some of the automatic control and need to work with more manual settings. | |

| Feb 13, 2017 at 0:39 | comment | added | GB11111 | I'm interested in other responses to this one. To me, this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. If the lens isn't connected to the camera, there doesn't seem to be any way that the camera could even be in the ballpark of figuring out of the correct exposure, that the image would be properly focused, etc. But ... maybe this is possible w/ some jury rigging. | |
