Playing with a reversed 50mm

Manfr3d

I recently started playing around with a coupling ring attaching a
Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens in reversed position to a Canon 100mm
Macro. I added a 1.4x Extender into the mix and flash-fired away.
I'm impressed by the performance, considering that it must be
macro 3:1 or something right? (how can I calculate that anyway?).

Here are some snaps from today (fullframe):

1. 10 Eurocent @ f2.8


2. Dried grass @ f8


3. Blue Shirt @ f8 (hey that's not entirely blue!?!)


Thanks for looking!

Lovely captures - that's a lot of magnification you are getting !

The magnification will be something like- TCPower (existing mag + focal length main lens/focal length reversed lens) = 1.4X ( 1+ 100/50) = 4.2:1

Your actually better off photographing the mm scale of a ruler then Mag = sensor width mm/mm across photo

just shoot a ruler at full mag
