Good clear shot, i have no clue what reverse lenses are ?

TheFoodTraveller

Thanks.
A reverse lens means I took a lens with an aperture ring and mounted (using a macro ring) in the other way using the back element as front element.
In this way magnifying factors up to 3x can be achieved ... but the focus is done phisically moving the camera :cry

Ciao
